Preservation Rhinoplasty
Enhancing Natural Beauty with Minimal Intervention
At Rhinoplasty London, we specialise in Preservation Rhinoplasty, a refined approach to nasal surgery that emphasises the natural beauty of your nose while minimising the need for invasive procedures.
Preservation Rhinoplasty stands apart as it focuses on preserving the existing structure of your nose rather than extensive resection, thereby promoting a more natural appearance and faster healing process. Our technique aims to maintain the integrity of the nasal dorsum, reducing the reliance on grafts and making any potential future revisions simpler and less invasive. Tailored for individuals with specific nasal characteristics, this method is ideal for reshaping while keeping the attractive lines and contours of your nose intact. However, it’s important to note that it may not be suitable for noses that are asymmetric, twisted, or require extensive reconstruction.
Discover the subtle yet transformative power of Preservation Rhinoplasty with Rhinoplasty London and embrace a natural-looking outcome that enhances your overall facial harmony.

What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Preservation Rhinoplasty?
Preservation Rhinoplasty is a surgical technique that focuses on modifying the nose by primarily preserving the natural structures and contours. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which often involves removing bone and cartilage, this method aims to maintain as much of the original nasal framework as possible, facilitating a more natural outcome and potentially smoother recovery.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Preservation Rhinoplasty?
Ideal candidates for Preservation Rhinoplasty typically have specific concerns that can be addressed without the extensive restructuring of the nose. This includes individuals looking to refine the shape of their nose, reduce a hump, or improve their profile with minimal changes to the overall nasal structure. Patients seeking dramatic changes or those with severe asymmetry may require more traditional techniques.
What Are the Benefits of Preservation Rhinoplasty Compared to Traditional Rhinoplasty?
The benefits of Preservation Rhinoplasty include a more natural appearance post-surgery, as the technique aims to enhance the nose’s shape without altering its fundamental structure. Additionally, patients often experience a shorter recovery period due to the less invasive nature of the procedure. There’s also a reduced risk of post-operative complications, such as breathing issues or the need for revision surgery.
How Long Does Recovery Take after Preservation Rhinoplasty?
Recovery times can vary depending on the individual’s healing process and the extent of the surgery carried out. However, most patients can expect the initial swelling and bruising to subside within two weeks. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s advice regarding aftercare to ensure the best possible recovery. Full results can take up to a year to be fully apparent as the nose settles into its new shape.
Can Preservation Rhinoplasty Be Combined with Other Procedures?
Yes, Preservation Rhinoplasty can be combined with other facial plastic surgeries to achieve a harmonious balance and symmetry of the facial features. Common complementary procedures include chin augmentation or reduction, eyelid surgery, or a facelift. Your surgeon will discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend a customised treatment plan during your consultation.
