Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty: Precision Nose Job

Rhinoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure that modifies the shape and function of the nose. Using advanced techniques including ultrasonic bone reshaping (Piezo), this procedure can improve both the aesthetic appearance and breathing function of the nose.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose by modifying its bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. The surgery can change nose size, width, profile, tip, and nostrils while maintaining or improving breathing function. Using ultrasonic technology (Piezo) for bone reshaping allows for more precise modifications with less trauma to surrounding tissues.Face and Neck Surgery

Nasal Reshaping and Functional Improvement

Many people seek improvement in both the appearance and function of their nose. Rhinoplasty can address various nasal concerns, from aesthetic issues to breathing diﬃculties. Modern techniques, including ultrasonic bone reshaping, allow for precise modifications while preserving the nose’s structural integrity and ensuring natural-looking results.

Results appear gradually as swelling subsides Healing continues for up to one year

Each nose is unique and requires individual approach

Revision surgery should wait at least one year Realistic expectations are important

What is ultrasonic rhinoplasty (Piezo)?

This advanced technique uses ultrasonic energy to precisely reshape nasal bones with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in less bruising and more controlled results.

How long is the recovery period?

Initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks. Most swelling subsides within months, but final results develop over one year as subtle swelling resolves.

Can rhinoplasty improve my breathing?

Yes, rhinoplasty can improve both appearance and breathing function by correcting structural issues within the nose.

How long should I wait before seeing final results?

While initial changes are visible once splints are removed, the nose continues to refine over several months, with final results visible after one year.

What’s the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?

open rhinoplasty involves a small external incision for better visualization, while closed rhinoplasty keeps all incisions inside the nose. The choice depends on your surgeon’s experience.

Is the surgery painful?

Most patients experience discomfort rather than pain. The use of ultrasonic technology often results in less post-operative pain compared to traditional techniques.

When can I return to normal activities?

Most patients return to work or school after 1 week, but should avoid strenuous activities for several weeks.

Can rhinoplasty be combined with other procedures?

Yes, rhinoplasty can be combined with other facial or body procedures when appropriate. This will be discussed during your consultation.
