What Is Preservation Rhinoplasty?
Preservation rhinoplasty is a modern surgical technique prioritizing the nose’s original anatomy. As the name implies, this type of surgery helps preserve the bony framework of your nose and keeps the soft tissues within it as close to their original state as possible while still creating subtle, natural changes.
Preservation and Traditional Rhinoplasty: The Differences
Although they’re both types of nose surgery, preservation and traditional rhinoplasty have some significant differences. The two surgeries tackle two of the main challenges of nose surgery in very different ways.
Bump or hump on the nose
One of the most common reasons that patients seek rhinoplasty is a bump or hump on the bridge of the nose.
In traditional rhinoplasty, surgeons address this issue by sanding the bridge of the nose and removing cartilage from the top of the nose. The process eliminates much of the nose’s natural structure, so rhinoplasty also involves some reconstructive measures.
Because it involves extensive reconstruction, traditional rhinoplasty can sometimes produce a more dramatic change than some patients want. For example, some patients worry about having a “done” looking nose, or having a nose that looks like everyone else’s.
Preservation rhinoplasty solves this potential problem. In this procedure, Dr. Jaibaji works from the underside of the nose, not the top.
He removes specific segments of cartilage and bone, leaving the top of the nose intact. This allows the nasal hump to move downward and line up with the rest of the nose. It creates a natural correction without compromising the nose structure.
With preservation rhinoplasty, extensive nose-rebuilding techniques aren’t necessary because the top of the nose wasn’t disrupted.
Large, uneven, or misshapen nasal tip
Another common reason to seek a nose job is unhappiness with the tip of the nose. Traditional rhinoplasty often reshapes this area dramatically but doesn’t typically preserve the delicate structure of the nose’s nasal ligaments and soft tissues.
With preservation rhinoplasty, Dr. Jaibaji uses conservative methods to help maintain soft tissues and nasal ligaments while enhancing appearance.
Thanks to this less disruptive approach, Dr. Jaibaji may not have to lift the skin of the nose (something common with traditional rhinoplasty) to make a beautiful and natural correction.
Benefits of Preservation Rhinoplasty
Preservation rhinoplasty offers many advantages, including:
- Less trauma to the nose when compared to traditional rhinoplasty
- Faster recovery when compared to traditional rhinoplasty
- Subtle results that look truly natural
- Your nose maintains its natural structure for a longer period of time
The biggest benefit is the high degree of customization. Dr. Jaibaji takes the time to understand your needs, evaluate your nasal anatomy, and plan the most precise procedure so your nose still looks like you, only better.

Patient Age: 45, Patient Height: 5.2, Patient Weight: 112 This patient had silicone nasal implant to augment the nose bridge. The procedure was performed in the far east. Initially, she was pleased with the results, but, as the swelling started to subside she noticed deformity of the nose. The implant was shifted to the right side causing widening of the nose and was giving her constant pain. She saw Dr. Jaibaji for a consultation. After complete evaluation of her nose and her goals, she elected to have a nose revision surgery. During surgery, diced cartilage graft was used to replace the silicone implant.
