Piezo Rhinoplasty: Ultrasonic Nose Job Without Bruising
Piezo Rhinoplasty: Ultrasonic Nose Job Without Bruising
Rhinoplasty (nose job) is the most popular plastic surgery operation that completely changes both physical appearance and breathing quality (functionality) due to its location right in the center of the face. "Piezo Technology" (Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty), which has replaced the hammer and chisel tools used to shape the nasal bone in the past, has started a new era in rhinoplasty. Thanks to this technology, the period of "severe bruising and swelling" after surgery, which is the biggest fear of patients, is becoming a thing of the past.
How Does Piezo Technology Work?
The Piezo device uses sound waves (ultrasonic vibrations) to cut or shape only the hard bone tissue with millimetric precision. The revolutionary advantages this innovative system offers compared to traditional methods are:
- Respect for Soft Tissues: Sound waves target only the bone; they cause absolutely no damage to surrounding cartilage, nerves, muscles, and blood vessels. Thus, post-operative bleeding is minimized, and bruising around the eyes is almost never seen.
- Millimetric Precision: The surgeon shapes the bone by sanding it almost like a sculptor without breaking it. Since the risk of the bone breaking from an unwanted point drops to zero, the success rate and aesthetic symmetry of the operation are maximized.
- Rapid Recovery: Because the trauma is very low, the tissues recover quickly. The patient can usually return to their social life and work easily when the splints are removed 1 week after the surgery.
Both Aesthetic and Functional Repair
In the same session, not only the nasal hump or drooping nasal tip is corrected; deviation (cartilage curvature) and concha (flesh) enlargements that make breathing difficult inside the nose are also treated simultaneously. Thus, the patient wakes up with a nose that not only looks beautiful but also breathes healthily.
Results in any surgical or interventional procedure may vary from person to person. It is recommended to get a detailed opinion from your physician before the procedure.
