What is an Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also known as piezo rhinoplasty or diamond rhinoplasty, is the latest development in cosmetic nose surgery. In traditional rhinoplasty surgeries, the plastic surgeon uses rasps, hammers, and surgical chisels to lower the dorsal hump and narrow the nasal bones, whereas in the ultrasonic rhinoplasty, we use an ultrasonic instrument for reshaping the nose.
The tool utilized in ultrasonic rhinoplasty operates by generating micro-vibrations through piezoelectric crystals, which are then transmitted to the instrument’s tip. This technique, often referred to as Ultrasonic (Piezo) rhinoplasty, is usually conducted using the open technique to allow for better exposure of the nasal bones.
The device specifically targets bones and hard cartilage, while carefully avoiding interference with the surrounding soft tissues, such as the skin, mucosa, and both upper and lower cartilages. As a result, ultrasonic rhinoplasty typically leads to less bruising and swelling compared to other rhinoplasty procedures. Additionally, there’s a reduced risk of bleeding with ultrasonic rhinoplasty because this device is much less likely to damage the surrounding blood vessels than the tools used in traditional nose jobs.
Today, many clinics and hospitals predominantly offer traditional rhinoplasty, mainly because piezo rhinoplasty is a newer method. However, ClinicExpert stands out as one of the few hospitals in Turkey that provides ultrasonic rhinoplasty. When considering a significant surgical operation like rhinoplasty, it’s crucial to ensure you are collaborating with the right team. It’s not advisable to entrust your care to anyone with less than a decade of experience. At ClinicExpert, we pride ourselves on utilizing the most advanced techniques, devices, and equipment for our patients, backed by our more than 12 years of experience.

Benefits of Piezo Rhinoplasty? How Does It Differ?
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty offers numerous benefits due to its precision and gentle approach. Firstly, it reduces soft tissue trauma, and thereby, post-operative bruising and swelling are quite rare. Secondly, thanks to advanced shaping and filing techniques, a natural shape can be given to the nasal bone. Additionally, a smoother transition is achieved from the bridge of the nose to the nasal tip for a cohesive result.
Moreover, since ultrasonic rhinoplasty can prevent uncontrolled bone fractures during the procedure, it also prevents deformity and contour irregularities. Consequently, ultrasonic rhinoplasty recovery is faster as the soft tissue surrounding blood vessels and cartilage are not damaged. This allows patients to return to their daily lives very quickly. Furthermore, post-operative pain is typically less than that experienced with traditional rhinoplasty.
Most importantly, ultrasonic rhinoplasty surgery increases patient satisfaction. The use of this technique significantly reduces complication rates after the procedure and the need for revision surgery, making it a highly effective choice for both patients and surgeons alike.
As a result, piezo rhinoplasty is very advantageous compared to the traditional method. In addition to providing convenience to surgeons at the point of providing the desired appearance, it increases patient comfort.
ClinicExpert’s surgeons are some of the first surgeons to use the device in Turkey. Our surgeons have performed more than 10000 nose surgeries by fully combining their own developed rhinoplasty technique with a piezo ultrasonic bone shaping device. For information and appointments, you can call or message us via WhatsApp.
Candidates for Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty
Anyone who is a good candidate for a nose job can also be considered a candidate for an ultrasonic rhinoplasty. The best candidates are those that are in good physical and mental health with no chronic medical conditions and have nasal bumps or humps on the bridge of the nose. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is not recommended for those under the age of 18.
If your surgeon decides that you are a suitable candidate for piezo rhinoplasty you need to follow some instructions. If you are a smoker you will be asked to stop smoking at least 2 weeks prior to the procedure. Smoking can negatively affect the healing process by slowing down wound healing.

Post-Surgery Care and Tips
If you want to recover as quickly as possible after your surgery, here we have some advices for you during the healing process; firstly, stay hydrated – aim to drink at least 2 liters of water per day. You might be surprised to learn how much this can help in reducing any post-operative swelling. Secondly, don’t miss your follow-up appointments; they are crucial for monitoring your recovery. Thirdly, take the pain relief medication prescribed to you at the clinic to manage discomfort. Additionally, use ice packs and cold compresses to reduce any swelling; this can be very effective. Lastly, keep the inside of your nose moist and clean with saline spray, which is essential for healing.
