Preservation Rhinoplasty in Denver for Natural Results With Minimal Structural Change

Because the nose is the central feature of the face, it should enhance your overall facial attractiveness. Preservation rhinoplasty is a unique approach for restoring balance and harmony to the nose while preserving the middle bony nasal structure. In properly selected patients, the results are similar to open structural rhinoplasty.

What Is Preservation Rhinoplasty?

Traditional rhinoplasty techniques remove a small amount of cartilage and bone from the region of the nasal hump. This necessitates other maneuvers to support the nasal valve areas to maintain nasal breathing. Preservation rhinoplasty involves remodeling and reshaping the existing anatomy, using different types of tissue resections, by pairing advanced suturing techniques and more precise surgical approaches.

This surgical technique can:

  • Straighten a crooked nose
  • Smooth nasal bridge bumps
  • Reshape the nasal bridge
  • Create a smaller, thinner nose

What Can I Expect From Preservation Rhinoplasty?

Dr. Weber will perform your preservation rhinoplasty under general anesthesia by making discreet openings between the nostrils or inside the nose. Through these incisions, he will manipulate the underlying tissues to enhance the shape and preserve your natural structures and beauty. While reshaping the structures that determine the shape and size of your nose, Dr. Weber takes special care to avoid damaging the soft tissues that cover this framework to ensure your best results and recovery.

Preservation Rhinoplasty Recovery and Results

Once you’re awake from your procedure, your designated driver can bring you home to begin recovering. However, you will need complete rest during the first week, which is best spent quietly at home. You’ll still need to take about one week off from work and another week off from strenuous activity, as resting optimizes results while minimizing the chance of recovery complications. In terms of results, this surgical approach, like other rhinoplasty methods, creates long-lasting and natural surgical results.

This is because preservation rhinoplasty optimizes your natural dorsal lines and most of the underlying tissue and cartilage. When too much nasal structure is removed with any surgical approach, this can create an unnatural look, an unsupported bridge and a deformed tip. It can also risk the airflow passages by compromising the function of your nose. Preservation techniques, like structured rhinoplasty, are designed to maintain the nasal structure, so its integrity is not compromised and you can expect long-lasting results.
