Time to Meet a Less Invasive Nose Job: Piezo Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical operation that aims to improve your nose both functionally and visually.

You want to have a nose with good looking, besides that, you have aesthetic concerns also. Moreover, you may not be able to breathe easily due to a crooked nose or trauma. In both cases, rhinoplasty can meet your expectations.

Classical rhinoplasty surgery involves your nasal bone being broken. The Piezo technique, which has become widespread in Turkey and Europe in recent years, also stands out as an important option, unlike this procedure.

Piezo rhinoplasty uses ultrasonic sound waves that only shape the bone without damaging the tissues in the target area, replacing the fractures and incisions involved in the traditional surgical procedure.

With this method, you will have a more comfortable surgery and your chances of experiencing discomfort such as pain and swelling after the procedure will be considerably reduced.

What is a Piezo Rhinoplasty?

Piezo technique, which was known to be used in the field of dentistry in the past, entered the rhinoplasty literature for the first time with the application of Massimo Robiony.

It makes micro-scale touches possible with the technological innovation it brings to conventional rhinoplasty. The sound waves applied to your nose during the operation do not affect your soft tissues, nerves, and vessels.

The cost of the application, which attracts the attention of many people due to its safe and innovative nature, is as curious as rhinoplasty prices. However, it varies depending on many factors such as the experience of the surgeon and the region where the clinic is located.

With an appointment with your surgeon, you can understand if you are suitable or not and clearly reveal your expectations. You may be a candidate for Piezo surgery if you have one of the following conditions:

  • If you have an arched nose,
  • If you have a wide or narrow nose,
  • If your nose tip is not what you want,
  • If you have a crooked nose,
  • If you have difficulty in breathing,
  • If you suffer from dysfunction caused by trauma or an accident,
  • Although you have had nose surgery in the past, your nose is not what you want,
  • If you want to have rhinoplasty but do not want your nasal bone to be broken.

How is Piezo Rhinoplasty Performed?

The surgery is performed using the open rhinoplasty approach, so it is sufficient to make a very small incision in your nose. The surgeon makes the incision with a piezoelectric device.

The sound waves emitted by the device at a certain frequency allow interference with your nasal bone. It is strong enough to reach even the toughest bones.

It is a comfortable operation as there is no nasal bone fracture in the procedure. A Piezo rhinoplasty surgery takes 3-4 hours on average, but this time may differ depending on the scope of the procedure and your nose structure.

Those who have piezo rhinoplasty surgery can be discharged on the same day. If the skin on your nose is not very thin, there will be no obvious bruising or swelling on your face.

Rhinoplasty with the piezo method is an operation that carries almost zero risk. Since the procedure must be performed from a distance, it is unlikely to be done with the closed rhinoplasty method. Of course, the experience and ability of your surgeon using the Piezo device are the biggest factors that ensure that no problems occur.

If you have had a rhinoplasty surgery before and you are not satisfied, you can have the look and function you desire with the microsurgery approach of the Piezo technique. You may not need revision rhinoplasty, with the benefits listed above and its reliable procedure.
