What is the Ultrasonic "Piezo Rhinoplasty" Technique?

The Piezo rhinoplasty technique uses ultrasound technology to cut and shape the nasal bones. It causes less bleeding, less bruising, less swelling, and a faster recovery.

Alternative Treatments

  • Non-surgical rhinoplasty 
  • injection rhinoplasty
  • Traditional Rhinoplasty

Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty Recovery Time

Recovery is faster with ultrasonic rhinoplasty. Because it doesn't damage the soft tissue surrounding blood vessels and cartilage, you can return to your daily life faster. Compared to traditional rhinoplasty, you will notice significantly less bruising and swelling in the first week.

You will have a nose splinter to keep the nasal bone in position. The doctor will remove it after the first week. About a month after the surgery, you'll look and feel healed. 

After 2-3 months, you may still feel numbness at the tip of the nose. It is normal and gradually begins to fade. The swelling will fade away over the next six months after the surgery. Seeing the final result of the surgery may take up to a year.

How is Piezo Rhinoplasty Performed?

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is an outpatient surgical procedure, so patients may leave the hospital the same day after the anesthetic has worn off.

 

Anesthesia

We have many clinics that specialize in Piezo Rhinoplasty surgery. They offer various types of anesthesia, such as: 

  • Local anesthesia
  • IV Sedation
  • General Anesthesia

Your surgeon will decide on the type of anesthesia that best suits your needs and medical condition.

The Surgical Process

  • Once you are anesthetized, the surgeon will start the procedure.
  • Your surgeon will make tiny incisions between or inside your nostrils.
  • After the incisions are made, the surgeon will separate your skin from the cartilage or bone and reshape the nasal bone.
  • Once the underlying bone structure of your nose is reshaped. The surgeon will close the nasal skin tissues and suture the incisions.
  • The surgeon may place a plastic or metal splint on your nose or nasal packs inside your nostrils.

What Should I Expect After Piezo Rhinoplasty Surgery?

The recovery process will take several weeks, and you may feel pain or discomfort in the first two days. But your doctor will prescribe pain relievers that will help ease the pain. After the surgery, you will spend the first night at the hospital under your doctor's supervision.

First Week After the Surgery

During the first week after the procedure, you may feel uncomfortable, and you're expected to:

  • Wear a splint on your nose
  • Feel sore and experience breathing difficulties.
  • Wear a compression bandage under your nose to soak up any fluid or blood
  • Experience discomfort inside your nose
  • Have swelling for the first 3 days
  • Notice some minor bruises.

Second Week After the Surgery

In the second week, you will have to follow up with a doctor and remove your splint. During this period, you can expect the following:

  • The dissolvable sutures will start to disappear
  • Swelling and bruises on your nose will begin to disappear.
  • Your appearance will gradually get back to normal, and you can make public appearances.
  • You can return to work in the second week (that is, if your job doesn't involve physical activities).
  • The incision will start to shrink and become smaller.

Third Week After the Surgery

From this stage onwards, you will begin to notice the surgery results. Here is what you should expect:

  • The swelling will be minor, and you will see subtle changes. 
  • Your incision will be slightly reddish, but it can easily be covered using makeup. You can start exercising.

Week Four and After 

A month after the surgery, most of the swelling will fade. In six months up to a year, you can expect to see the final results.
