Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

What is Utrasonic Rhinoplasty?

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a new technique performed for the remodelling of nasal surgeries. Its success lies in the benefits it provides both the patient and the surgeon with respect to traditional rhinoplasty. The interventions are performed with ultrasonic instruments that allow the intervention to be carried out without the need to use traditional instruments (chisel and hammer) and thus achieve greater precision in the surgery. This means that there is less swelling and bruising than with the traditional technique and therefore the patient can return to his or her daily life sooner.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

The numerous advantages provided by this innovative technique have made ultrasonic rhinoplasty one of the most popular rhinoplasty operations. Some of its benefits are:
  • More precision: thanks to the use of ultrasound it is possible to have greater precision and a more subtle and delicate treatment of all tissues.
  • Less swelling and bruising: by not damaging the blood vessels or white tissues, less inflammation occurs.
  • Faster recovery: Thanks to this technology, the patient’s tissues suffer less during the procedure and therefore recovery is much shorter and less uncomfortable.
  • Greater safety: the margin of error is smaller because of the greater precision.
  • More natural results
