Beyond the “Quick Fix” Nose Job: How Dr. Cory Torgerson Uses Preservation Rhinoplasty to Prevent Long-Term Nasal Collapse

Rhinoplasty is not only about changing the appearance of the nose. Long-term structural support, breathing function, tissue stability, and natural facial balance are also important considerations.
This presentation explains the concept of preservation rhinoplasty and how a structure-conscious approach differs from overly aggressive reduction techniques. It explores how excessive removal of cartilage or disruption of key support structures may contribute to issues such as nasal pinching, bridge irregularities, breathing difficulties, and structural changes over time.
The presentation also discusses the preservation of dorsal support, cartilage, ligaments, nasal valves, and tip stability, along with the role of individualized surgical planning.
Created around the treatment philosophy of Dr. Cory Torgerson Facial Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Centre, this deck provides an accessible educational overview of preservation-focused rhinoplasty and long-term nasal support.
