Preservation rhinoplasty is a relatively new technique for hump nose reduction that focuses on preserving as much of the existing nasal structure as possible. This is in contrast to traditional rhinoplasty, which often involves removing a significant amount of bone and cartilage.

Preservation rhinoplasty is typically performed using one of two techniques:

Push-down technique: This technique involves pushing the hump down instead of removing it. This is done by weakening the bone and cartilage that make up the hump, allowing them to be reshaped.

Let-down technique: This technique involves making a small incision in the hump and then carefully dissecting the skin and soft tissue away from the underlying bone and cartilage. The hump is then allowed to fall into a more natural position.

Preservation rhinoplasty is a good option for patients who want a natural-looking result and who have a mild to moderate hump. It is also a good option for patients who are at risk of complications from traditional rhinoplasty, such as saddle nose deformity or open roof deformity.

The benefits of preservation rhinoplasty include:

More natural-looking results
Reduced risk of complications
Shorter recovery time
The risks of preservation rhinoplasty are similar to the risks of traditional rhinoplasty, but they are generally lower. These risks include:

Bleeding
Infection
Bruising
Swelling
Numbness
Temporary difficulty breathing
If you are considering preservation rhinoplasty, it is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations. The surgeon will be able to assess your individual needs and determine if preservation rhinoplasty is the right option for you.
