With ultrasonic rhinoplasty, precision and artistry meet innovation to deliver beautiful results and a far more comfortable procedure experience. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which uses sculpting tools, ultrasonic rhinoplasty harnesses the power of ultrasonic waves to meticulously contour and shape your nose to your desired appearance—foregoing the need for broken bones, hammers, and chisels.
Whether you have a hump on your nasal bridge, an asymmetrical nose, a crooked nose, or another undesirable characteristic, Dr. Nima can use ultrasonic rhinoplasty to reshape your nose and help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Learn more about this cutting-edge procedure from board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Nima Shemirani.
What Is Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also referred to as Piezosurgery®, uses an advanced device that emits high-speed sound (ultrasonic) waves into tiny cutting and shaving tools, causing them to vibrate fast enough that they can delicately reshape and sculpt nasal bones.
Key Benefits of Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a top choice for rhinoplasty candidates who want to change the shape of their noses, as it delivers several key benefits that will elevate your procedure experience.
● Unmatched precision compared to traditional rhinoplasty, allowing for better, more accurate results.
● Results in less trauma to surrounding tissue, blood vessels, and nerves.
● Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is less invasive and more gentle and has a faster and easier recovery time.
● No need to break bone and no risk of bone splintering or fracturing.
● Less bruising, swelling, and surgical bleeding.
● Improved visibility and accuracy.
● Delivers more natural-looking results.
● Faster and more efficient procedure thanks to better control and precision.
The Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty Procedure
Before you schedule your surgery, you will have an in-person consultation with Dr. Nima, where he will examine your nose, ask you questions about your aesthetic goals, learn about your medical history, provide personalized recommendations, and build you a customized treatment plan.
Once your surgery is scheduled, you will receive a preparation guide from the Eos Rejuvenation team with instructions on how to prepare for your procedure. Then, on the day of surgery, you will be administered general anesthesia to ensure a comfortable procedure.
After the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Nima will make a small incision along the columella (bridge of skin between your nostrils) to perform what’s known as an open rhinoplasty. This allows for better visibility compared to a closed rhinoplasty. Dr. Nima will then use his Piezo device to meticulously sculpt and contour your nasal bones.
Once complete, Dr. Nima will close your incisions, and you will be moved to our comfortable recovery room until the anesthesia wears off.
What Is Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty Recovery Like?
One of the primary benefits of ultrasonic rhinoplasty is that it has a far easier recovery compared to traditional rhinoplasty. After your ultrasonic rhinoplasty, you can expect some minor bruising, swelling, tenderness, and nasal congestion, which should subside within a week or so following your surgery. Any sutures, packing, or bandages will be removed at your one-week follow-up appointment with Dr. Nima.
Dr. Nima recommends Beverly Hills ultrasonic rhinoplasty patients take at least one week off from work to ensure proper healing and recovery. Additionally, refrain from any strenuous activity for at least one month after your surgery, or until Dr. Nima gives you the green light to return to your normal level of activity.
Who Is a Candidate for Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is an ideal plastic surgery procedure for those who want to adjust the shape of their nose, particularly their nasal bone. For instance, if you have a deviated septum, dorsal hump, asymmetrical nose, or wide nasal bridge, you are an ideal candidate for ultrasonic rhinoplasty.
However, if you wish to make changes to the tip of your nose or nostrils, this procedure may not be suitable for you. Instead, Dr. Nima may recommend bulbous or droopy tip rhinoplasty or alarplasty (nostril reduction surgery).
Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty vs. Traditional Rhinoplasty
While traditional rhinoplasty continues to be a tried-and-true method, ultrasonic rhinoplasty offers unparalleled accuracy, precision, and control, allowing for better customizations and more natural-looking rhinoplasty results. Additionally, you benefit from a faster procedure, less trauma to surrounding tissue, and an easier recovery period.
However, the decision to choose ultrasonic rhinoplasty over traditional rhinoplasty will be made between you and your doctor based on your individual needs and goals.
