Piezo rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses ultrasonic waves to reshape the nasal bones and cartilage. It offers several advantages over traditional surgical techniques:
Greater precision: Piezo surgery allows for more precise manipulation of bone and tissue, leading to reduced surgical trauma and risk of complications.
Enhanced safety: The ultrasonic waves used in piezo surgery can distinguish between bone and soft tissue, minimizing the risk of damage to nerves and blood vessels.
Less pain and discomfort: Piezo surgery generally results in less pain and discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
Faster recovery: Patients who undergo piezo rhinoplasty typically experience a faster recovery time.
Piezo rhinoplasty can be used for various aesthetic purposes, including:
- Reducing the size of the nose
- Correcting a hump or bridge on the nose
- Altering the shape of the nasal tip
- Straightening a deviated septum
“Piezo rhinoplasty can effectively address various concerns, including reducing the size of the nose, correcting a hump or bridge, reshaping the tip, and straightening a deviated septum.”
