Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

What Is Ultrasonic (Piezo) Rhinoplasty?

Instead of manual rasps and chisels, ultrasonic rhinoplasty employs piezoelectric tips that selectively act on bone while minimizing trauma to soft tissues and blood vessels. Surgeons gain millimeter-level control for elegant hump reduction and precise lateral osteotomies.

Why Choose the Ultrasonic Approach?

Piezo technology can improve accuracy and reduce collateral trauma during bone work, which may translate into a smoother recovery and highly refined outcomes.

• Precision osteotomies and dorsal refinement
• Selective action on bone—soft-tissue sparing
• Potentially less swelling and bruising
• Excellent for subtle profile polishing and asymmetry correction

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty benefits many primary and some revision cases that require controlled bony work. Your surgeon will advise whether it suits your anatomy and goals.

• Dorsal hump reduction and profile smoothing
• Crooked nose or bony asymmetry
• Fine contouring where precision is critical
• Combined functional cases (with septorhinoplasty) when bone work is needed

Surgical Technique & Planning

Your plan is tailored during consultation, photography, and functional assessment. Ultrasonic instrumentation is integrated into open or closed approaches as needed.

• Detailed exam and aesthetic/functional planning
• Open or closed approach based on complexity
• Ultrasonic osteotomies for controlled bone shaping
• Cartilage techniques and grafts when structural support is required

Recovery & Aftercare

Many patients report a comfortable recovery after ultrasonic bony work. Protocols are similar to modern rhinoplasty aftercare.

• External splint ~5–7 days; internal support as indicated
• Bruising/swelling often improve within 1–2 weeks
• Head elevation and activity restrictions for ~3–4 weeks
• Follow-ups to monitor healing and airway function
