Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

WHAT IS ULTRASONIC RHINOPLASTY?

Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and functionality of the nose.

This treatment aims to correct aesthetic deformities, such as prominent, disproportionate, or asymmetrical noses, as well as functional problems that affect breathing.

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty can be performed to modify the shape of the nasal bridge or tip, or to adjust the size and proportion of the nose in relation to the rest of the face, achieving a beautiful harmony.

At the European Surgery Center, we have developed a unique approach that combines the expertise of two medical specialties: Plastic Surgery and Otorhinolaryngology. This interdisciplinary collaboration ensures exceptional results in both aesthetic and functional terms, offering a comprehensive improvement in nasal appearance and functionality.

Specialist Collaboration:

Plastic Surgeon: Our plastic surgeons are experts in facial aesthetics, and their skill in the precise modification of nasal structures allows us to design a nose that integrates harmoniously with the rest of the face. Their experience guarantees natural and balanced results that enhance facial beauty.
Otorhinolaryngologist: Otorhinolaryngologists contribute their knowledge of nasal anatomy and physiology to ensure optimal functionality, in addition to aesthetic improvement. They focus on maintaining or improving the patient's breathing capacity while the necessary modifications are made.

Benefits of Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty:

Comprehensive Aesthetic Improvement: Corrects nasal deformities and improves facial harmony, providing a more balanced and attractive appearance.
Functional Optimization: Improves nasal breathing by addressing structural problems that affect airway function.
Advanced Technology: We use the Piezotome, a high-precision ultrasound tool, to make bone cuts with less trauma and greater accuracy, reducing inflammation and accelerating recovery.
Long-lasting Results: The aesthetic and functional changes are often long-lasting, offering significant improvements in appearance and breathing capacity.
Fast Recovery: Thanks to the precision of our techniques and advanced technology, recovery is generally quick and comfortable.

Recovery:

Recovery after ultrasonic rhinoplasty requires certain precautions to ensure optimal healing and satisfactory results:

First few days: It’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the nasal area. We recommend resting with your head elevated and applying cold compresses to reduce swelling.
Nose care: Follow your surgeon's instructions for nasal care, including the application of medications and the use of protective devices, if prescribed.
Avoid strenuous activities: It’s important to avoid strenuous physical activity, contact sports, and exertion that may affect the nose during the first few weeks to ensure proper recovery.
Post-surgery checkups: You’ll need to attend follow-up appointments with your surgeon to assess your recovery progress and make adjustments if necessary.
Return to routine: Most patients can return to normal activities and work in approximately one week, although it’s recommended to avoid strenuous activities for at least 4 to 6 weeks.
