Preservation Rhinoplasty Toronto
In the field of face cosmetic surgery, preservation rhinoplasty is a notion that has lately gained popularity. When feasible, it uses less intrusive methods that retain the nose’s structure. Many of the rhinoplasty and facial specialists pioneered the techniques utilised today many years ago. Many of these methods were lost or replaced by more invasive surgery with the introduction of open structure rhinoplasty.
How Does It Work?
Fixing a bump or reducing a hump on the nose is one of the most common reasons people seek a rhinoplasty treatment. The hump is eliminated or shaved down in a conventional reduction rhinoplasty, and the surgeon reconstructs the bridge to make it more appealing from the front. The surgeon will remove cartilage or bone from below the dorsal hump and the septum’s top or bottom in dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, allowing the bridge to be “let down” rather than the hump being removed from above.
As a result, the nasal bridge becomes very smooth and natural, with fewer bumps and depressions.
Preservation rhinoplasty entails conserving and reshaping the tip cartilages as well as maintaining or mending the nasal ligaments that connect the skin to the cartilages at the nasal tip. The nasal skin may not need to be raised in some situations, resulting in considerably less bruising and swelling. A skilled facial plastic surgeon can use an open or closed method to conduct preservation rhinoplasty procedures.
Who is a Good Candidate for Rhinoplasty Preservation?
For individuals with a crooked nose or a broad or drooping tip, preservation rhinoplasty is a great option. It works well for patients who have a pleasing nasal bridge from the front but detest the prominence of their bridge from the side. Patients with an uneven, asymmetric, or broad nasal bridge, as well as those who have already had rhinoplasty, should avoid this surgery.
You should speak with our expert rhinoplasty surgeon Dr. Kolenda to see if it’s suitable for you or your unique objectives and aesthetics.
Traditional Rhinoplasty vs. Preservation Rhinoplasty
Preservation Rhinoplasty Results In A More Natural Appearance
The height of the dorsum (“bridge”) of the nose is reduced in conventional rhinoplasty surgery by removing cartilage and bone from the top. Dr. Kolenda performs preservation rhinoplasty by removing cartilage and bone from beneath the nose, keeping the natural dorsal attractive lines that are difficult to reproduce with standard rhinoplasty. This creates a polished and natural-looking appearance while avoiding a “operated” appearance.
Breathing Function After Rhinoplasty Preservation
After a preservation rhinoplasty, there is a lower chance of respiratory problems. Traditional rhinoplasty destroys some of the functioning nasal structures that are required for healthy breathing and requires reconstruction. Long-term breathing issues might occur from incomplete or poor repair after conventional rhinoplasty. Preservation rhinoplasty keeps these nasal tissues intact throughout surgery, eliminating the need for reconstruction.
Rhinoplasty With Preservation Allows For A Faster Recovery.
The preservation rhinoplasty method also differs from standard rhinoplasty in that it is conducted in a different plane of dissection. In the subperichondrial and subperiosteal planes, the dissection is carried out. This is significant because none of the soft tissue of the nose (which contains the blood arteries and lymphatics) is damaged or disturbed. Because blood arteries and lymphatics are preserved, there is less swelling and bruising, allowing for a speedier recovery than with a conventional rhinoplasty. Within a few weeks, individuals who have had preservation rhinoplasty may appear totally healed with natural-looking results.
Preservation Rhinoplasty has a number of advantages, including the following:
The nasal bridge can be preserved while bumps or humps are minimized.
Compared to conventional rhinoplasty, patients may have reduced edoema (swelling) and bruising.
The final product is polished and looks natural.
The Negatives
Not everyone is a good candidate for preservation rhinoplasty. Traditional structural procedures will be required for more severe nasal abnormalities to provide the greatest outcomes, and may not be suitable for individuals with particularly thick skin, soft tissue, or cartilage. In certain situations, a combination approach is used to preserve the bridge while structural methods are used on the nasal tip.
Furthermore, preservation rhinoplasty is often reserved for “first-time” patients. When it comes to revision rhinoplasty, you’ll almost certainly have to take the conventional method. Because the first nose job may have restricted the amount of accessible cartilage and nose structure, rhinoplasty may be limited in what it can achieve.
