As a result of innovations in the field of nose aesthetics in recent years, this operation has become increasingly easier. Discover piezo rhinoplasty.
In the piezo rhinoplasty procedure, interventions performed with blows to the nasal bones in classical rhinoplasty are performed comfortably and accurately with ultrasonic waves. The procedure takes its name from the device used in this operation.
If you are considering rhinoplasty for aesthetic concerns or health reasons and are hesitant about surgery, piezo rhinoplasty may be an option for you. If you want to get the nose you desire as soon as possible, you can contact Prof. Dr. Selçuk İnanlı, one of the best rhinoplasty specialists in Turkey, who performs open operations with this technique.
Piezo rhinoplasty is an innovative technique used in rhinoplasty surgeries. In this method, your nasal bones and cartilage are gently shaped using an ultrasonic (high-frequency sound waves) device. Compared to traditional surgical instruments, it allows your specialist to perform the procedure in a more precise and controlled manner.
Piezo technology allows the specialist to make the desired corrections without the need to make major incisions in your nasal bones. This usually means less post-operative swelling, bruising, and a shorter recovery time. It can also help to achieve a more natural appearance after surgery by providing better preservation of your nasal structure.
The discovery of the piezo effect dates back to the late 19th century and was first described by the French physicist brothers Jacques and Pierre Curie in the 1880s. A piezo device is a device that converts mechanical vibrations into electrical signals or vice versa using the piezoelectric effect. This effect is the property of certain crystals or ceramic materials to generate electrical charges by mechanical stress applied to them. These special devices have a wide range of applications, which has enabled them to find a place in a wide variety of industries. Today, it is also used in rhinoplasty surgeries.
There are many important advantages of rhinoplasty surgeries performed with a piezo device. The most important ones are listed below:
Although piezo rhinoplasty has its advantages, keep in mind that each case can be different and that the specialists make decisions based on your circumstances. During the consultation, your expectations are also evaluated and it is understood whether you are suitable for this procedure.
Before the rhinoplasty is performed with the piezo technique, your specialist evaluates your wishes and expectations with you. By examining your nose structure, he determines the areas to be intervened and creates a plan suitable for rhinoplasty. Before the operation, general or local anesthesia is applied for your comfort. This procedure allows you to relax and not feel any pain.
The specialist delicately intervenes in the bone and cartilage tissues with the help of the ultrasonic tip of the device. At this stage, the desired corrections are made by preventing the bones from being cut or broken. In rhinoplasty, nasal bones are usually intervened. The piezo technique allows a flatter and cleaner incision to be made without the need for large-scale incisions. In this way, correction or shaping of cartilage tissues is easily done.
After the desired corrections are made, the specialist organizes your nasal tissues and sutures if necessary. This stage means that the surgical area is closed and healing begins. Your recovery process is usually similar to other nose surgeries. Your specialist will follow you at regular intervals and monitor your progress. Since piezo rhinoplasty is less invasive than traditional surgical methods, this period is comfortable. Rhinoplasty with the piezo technique takes an average of 4 hours.
The recovery period after rhinoplasty with the piezo technique is generally similar to that of classical rhinoplasty methods. In the postoperative period, you will go through several important stages over some time. In the first few days, you may notice swelling, bruising, and mild pain. These are expected reactions and will disappear over time. The bandages on the surgical site and the tampon in the nose will be kept for a period determined by the surgeon.
In the first week following your operation, your specialist will want to see you for a check-up. In this examination, the first days of recovery are evaluated and your bandages and stitches are removed if necessary. Your physical activities may be limited for a few weeks and you are expected to minimize contact with your nose area. As swelling and bruising rapidly decrease, your nose shape and contours begin to become clearer.
The complete healing is usually completed within a few months. Especially in the first months, the nasal tissues settle and finalize during recovery. Your specialist will schedule regular examinations to follow you during the recovery period. The process may progress differently in each case and healing may vary depending on personal factors. The specialist will evaluate your specific situation and guide you toward a healthier and more successful recovery.
