Ultrasonic rhinoplasty – what you need to know

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also known as rhinosculpture or piezo-rhinoplasty, is an innovative technique that uses miniaturised instruments to precisely correct bony aspects of the nose. This method allows the correction of nasal hump, too wide or asymmetrical nose, as well as the correction of deviated nasal septum. It also offers the possibility of using different types of grafts safely. Surgeons have moved from using 100-year-old instruments that broke bones in an uncoordinated manner to ultrasonic rhinoplasty, which gives precise control over the position, orientation and shape of the bones. This technique was adopted worldwide by rhinoplasty experts around 2016, which denotes its effectiveness and benefits. Natural Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty is a combination of Preservation Rhinoplasty and Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty, with a focus on achieving harmonious and natural results. Preservation Rhinoplasty is a modern method of rhinoplasty that preserves nasal tissues and structure as faithfully as possible. It involves lifting the skin at the perichondrial and subperiosteal level, preserving the ligaments and wing cartilages with minimal excisions and preserving the osteocartilaginous dorsum. The main advantages of natural ultrasonic rhinoplasty include rapid recovery, minimal swelling of the nose and immediate improvement in nasal breathing. This technique provides precise control of the nasal bones without breaking them, which is not possible with traditional methods. It also allows treatment of bone asymmetries with precision. Computer simulation is an effective method of communication between surgeon and patient, helping both parties to have a clear view of the expectations and possible outcomes of rhinoplasty. This makes it easier to make decisions about the procedure and achieve personalised results.
