A small facial change, especially if performed on the nose, can improve a person’s appearance almost imperceptibly. Nowadays, thanks to technological advances, we have surgical techniques capable of improving the appearance of our nose such as ultrasonic rhinoplasty (also known as Piezotome or Piezo rhinoplasty).
It consists of a procedure that uses the ultrasonic scalpel avoiding injuries to the soft tissues around the cartilage and bones, as well as post-surgical bruising.
The Piezotome allows the bone to be cut, reamed and polished with greater precision.
Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, ultrasonic rhinoplasty reduces postoperative discomfort and damage, especially to the soft structures near the bone.
Furthermore, as Dr. Marco Romeo points out, ultrasonic rhinoplasty is virtually incapable of damaging soft tissues and drastically reduces swelling, bruising and hematomas, resulting in minimal postoperative pain.
The 10 Benefits of Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty
- Less invasive than conventional rhinoplasty
- Faster recovery
- Less pain
- Less bleeding
- Less swelling
- Less bruising
- Natural results
- Precise and accurate nose bone reshaping
- Less irregularities and asymmetries
- Two surgeries in one: functional nose surgery and aesthetic rhinoplasty.
How is the recovery process?
A splint is required for one week. When the splint is removed, the appearance of the nose is normal enough to return to a normal life without others knowing that you have undergone surgery. Even so, the nose needs a few weeks to achieve the final result.
In principle, the patient lives the first days without pain, a slight swelling of the mucosa and overall a very comfortable postoperative period, even in secondary rhinoplasties.
If you are thinking of having a rhinoplasty do not hesitate to contact Dr. Marco Romeo, plastic surgeon with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, who will analyze your case in a first free consultation and will clarify all the doubts that may arise, advising you on the procedure for the surgery to be n success and get the expected results.
