Comparison of preservation rhinoplasty versus conventional rhinoplasty techniques: a systematic review of aesthetic and functional outcomes
Clinical Report: Evaluating Aesthetic and Functional Results of Rhinoplasty
Overview
This systematic review compares preservation rhinoplasty (PR) and conventional rhinoplasty (CR) techniques. Complication rates were low for both techniques.
Background
Rhinoplasty is a prevalent surgical procedure aimed at improving both aesthetic and functional nasal characteristics. The emergence of preservation rhinoplasty represents a shift towards techniques that minimize tissue disruption.

Key Findings
PR showed significant improvements in SCHNOS-O and VAS-O scores postoperatively.
Complication rates were low for both PR and CR, with similar revision rates reported.
No major complications were observed in the studies reviewed.
Functional outcomes measured by rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry were comparable between PR and CR.
Patient selection is critical, with PR being more suitable for primary cases with moderate humps and thinner skin.
Clinical Implications
Surgeons should consider the benefits of preservation rhinoplasty in suitable candidates.
Conclusion
Preservation rhinoplasty presents a viable alternative to conventional techniques, offering comparable safety and functional outcomes.
