With piezoelectric inserts, surgeons are able to more precisely break bones and reshape cartilage without damaging surrounding soft tissues, creating more customized nose sculpting while minimizing facial trauma, bruising, and swelling following surgery.
Good candidates for ultrasonic rhinoplasty should be in good overall health with realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve. In addition, you must be at an age where nasal growth has come to a stop.
For more information оn facts about ultrasonic rhinoplasty, please consult with a qualified surgeon.
What is Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty offers an efficient solution to tackle various cosmetic nose issues without incurring unnecessary trauma or swelling, as it doesn’t disrupt breathing patterns or compromise the integrity of the nose like traditional techniques may do. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty also effectively addresses breathing issues as well as structural concerns without altering its integrity in any way.
Dr Turner will use an incision in each nostril and carefully lift away skin to expose your nasal skeleton. Next, using the piezotome handpiece he can sculpt and contour hard tissues like the nasal bones – eliminating nasal humps or changing bridge shape as well as correcting any aesthetic problems that may exist.
Your doctor can also reshape and refine the cartilage of your nose for maximum aesthetic and functional results, using dissolvable sutures to close incisions after they’re happy with what he sees.
What are the Benefits of Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?
Ultrasonic instruments used in this procedure emit high-frequency sound waves to soften bone and cartilage, enabling your surgeon to shape your nose without harming other tissues. This technique may also be more precise than traditional hammer and chisel methods while helping patients return more quickly to daily activities after surgery.
At your consultation, your surgeon will take measurements of your facial features to identify ideal dimensions for your nose. They may also inquire into your medical history to ensure this treatment is suitable.
Healthy individuals who have completed facial growth should be suitable candidates for this surgery, which requires general anesthesia. It is important to understand all risks involved so you can make an informed decision as to whether it is right for you.

Who is a Good Candidate for Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?
Good candidates for ultrasonic rhinoplasty typically possess realistic expectations and excellent overall health. Smokers must stop smoking before surgery to reduce swelling and bruising; this procedure works best on adults whose facial development has finished (typically around age 18).
Ideal candidates include individuals looking to correct issues such as a crooked nose, hump, bulbous tip or deviated septum. Additionally, this technique can also be used to remove nasal bridge bumps and smooth bony irregularities on the nose pyramid.
Ultrasonic device allows surgeons to accurately cut, sculpt and reshape bone without fracture or breaking it, harvest cartilage grafts for structural reshaping or close incisions with dissolvable sutures for less visible scarring.
Careful consideration must be made when selecting an experienced cosmetic surgeon for ultrasonic rhinoplasty in order to ensure precision and safety. A double board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty will be optimal. A qualified surgeon should explain all aspects of the process during your initial consultation as well as show before/after photos for reference.
How is Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty Different from Traditional Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is an effective solution to correct issues such as an enlarged or narrow nose, deviated septum deviation, or issues with the nasal tip. This surgical procedure can reshape and improve its proportions to make the nose appear more attractive while simultaneously solving breathing issues caused by structural concerns.
Traditional rhinoplasty requires using tools like chisels and surgical equipment to alter the structure of the nose, while ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses sound waves instead. This method reduces postoperative pain, swelling and bruising by protecting surrounding tissues and skin from trauma.
Under general anesthesia and over two hours, the procedure takes place under rhinoplasty is conducted under general anesthesia. A physician will make incisions on either the columella (skin between nostrils) or another location within the nose in order to access cartilage and bone needing adjustments. A piezo device offers greater control and precision than traditional surgical tools in open or closed rhinoplasty surgeries.
