A Guide to Piezo Rhinoplasty
A rhinoplasty, or nose job, is one of the original surgeries and has been performed for decades to change the shape and size of the nose, and sometimes even to breathing difficulties. Traditionally the procedure would be with tools that resemble a hammer and chisel. Recently, however, a newer technique employed by , is benefits for patients. Introducing the – a new technique that downtime, bruising and results for patients. Mr Naveen Cavale all the questions around this procedure below.
What is a piezo rhinoplasty?
Put simply, a piezo is name for an ultrasonic rhinoplasty where high energy ultrasound waves are used to cut and re-shape the bone. Usually we would a rhinoplasty by using what is effectively a hammer and chisel to break the bones, which can be unpredictable, however, the piezo tool (it looks a bit like a pen, with attachments) allows us to cut and contour the bone with ultra . It’s so gentle that it can be used to cut an egg shell without damaging the membrane .
What is the benefit of having a piezo rhinoplasty?
The main is that it can more target areas of the nose, all without damaging the soft tissue around the nose. The result of this is significantly less bruising which can lead to reduced down time for the patient.
An additional of the piezo is that there is less risk of the of the brain (known as the dura). There’s more control with the piezo you’re less likely to damage the dura.
Finally, due to the accuracy of the piezo, we are less likely to see patients come back for surgery.
Who is a piezo rhinoplasty suitable/not suitable for?
A piezo is a good option for those who want to remove a bump, create a narrower nose or re-shape the top part of the nose. The piezo only works on bone and cannot be used purely for nose tip work or for septoplasty as these areas are made from .
What is the recovery like following a piezo rhinoplasty?
All patients will experience some mild discomfort following a rhinoplasty, with those who have had work on their septum experiencing more pain. However, because bruising is reduced, there is less pain associated with this.
There has been some of the piezo as some that it can cause more swelling. When the piezo was originally used for a rhinoplasty it a lot of . However, with the newer tools, I have a technique with minimal dissection, which offers no more swelling than a traditional rhinoplasty.
In terms of post-surgery, I put some light up the nose, but this is removed before go home. We put a split on the of the nose to hold things in place and this needs to stay on for 2 weeks until we review your at the clinic. At that point, we’ll take the cast off and you can go on your way.
Finally, it’s worth noting that this procedure doesn’t an overnight stay and that it can take at least 6 months to see the final result as you fully heal.
Why aren’t all surgeons carrying out piezo rhinoplasties?
There are two why I think piezo aren’t out by all surgeons. Firstly, the piezo is really quite meaning it might be not a viable option for some . Secondly, using the piezo device for is a fairly new . I’m sure that as more learn about the of this over the traditional methods, we’ll see piezo rhinoplasties become much more widespread.
