Preservation Rhinoplasty (Augmentation / Reduction / Nose Reshaping)
Preservation Rhinoplasty is an advanced surgical technique that focuses on reshaping the nose while preserving its natural anatomical structures. Unlike traditional methods that remove significant amounts of bone and cartilage, this approach maintains the integrity of the nasal framework, resulting in more natural-looking, stable, and harmonious outcomes.
This technique can be used for both:
• Augmentation – enhancing projection and structure
• Reduction – refining and reducing nasal size or hump
• Reshaping – improving symmetry, contour, and balance
At Dr. Jaray Rhinoplasty Clinic, every procedure is carefully planned to enhance facial harmony while maintaining your unique identity.
Preparation Before Surgery
Proper preparation is essential to ensure safety and optimal results.
Before surgery, patients will undergo:
• Detailed consultation and facial analysis
• Medical history evaluation
• Pre-operative blood tests and health screening
• Discussion of expectations and surgical plan
Pre-Surgery Guidelines:
• Avoid smoking at least 2 weeks before surgery
• Stop blood-thinning medications (as advised by your doctor)
• Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before surgery
• Maintain good overall health and hydration
Patients will also receive personalized instructions tailored to their condition and procedure.
The Surgical Procedure
Preservation rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take approximately 3 to 6 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Surgical Approach Includes:
• Reshaping the nasal structure while preserving key anatomical support
• Adjusting bone and cartilage without excessive removal
• Refining the nasal bridge and tip
• Improving symmetry and proportion
In augmentation cases, additional support may be created using autologous cartilage (such as septal, ear, or rib cartilage) when necessary.
The goal is to achieve a natural, balanced, and long-lasting result with minimal disruption to the nasal structure.
Post-Operative Care
After surgery, patients will receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
Immediately After Surgery:
• A nasal splint will be applied for protection and support
• Mild swelling and bruising are expected
• Patients will be monitored by medical staff
Care Instructions:
• Keep the head elevated while resting
• Avoid touching or putting pressure on the nose
• Take prescribed medications as directed
• Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
Recovery Period
Recovery varies by individual, but general timelines include:
• First 7–10 days: Splint removal and initial healing
• 2–4 weeks: Reduction of swelling and bruising
• 1–3 months: Continued refinement of nasal shape
• 6–12 months: Final results become fully visible
Most patients can return to light daily activities within 1–2 weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 4–6 weeks.
Risks and Possible Complications
As with any surgical procedure, preservation rhinoplasty carries some risks, although they are uncommon when performed by an experienced surgeon.
Possible risks may include:
• Swelling and bruising
• Infection
• Bleeding
• Asymmetry
• Delayed healing
• Need for revision surgery (in rare cases)
At Dr. Jaray Rhinoplasty Clinic, strict safety protocols and meticulous surgical techniques are used to minimize risks and ensure patient safety.
