Abstract
Dorsal preservation rhinoplasty has seen considerable advances in the recent years as many doctors have improved and developed new ideas on the subject. In the era of minimal trauma surgery, it is important to achieve a beautiful nasal aesthetic result with minimum injury to the nose. Preserving the main structures of the nasal pyramid has been pursued for more than a century, and some different approaches have been described and developed since then. Their strengths and weakness have been shown. The present society's demand for perfection is an added reason for improving the stability and predictability of preservation rhinoplasty. We describe a brand-new philosophy of approaching the nasal dorsum hump that combines both safety and delicacy in dealing with the anatomical structures with elegancy and accuracy and achieving the aesthetic goal required.
