Before Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty, the procedures performed on the nose bones such as nasal arch removal, filler implementations, narrowing the nose, were performed by breaking with the classical method that involves operating with instruments like mallet, saws, files and chisel. Due to the use of physical force, resulting in an inadvertent nasal fractures, and bone incisions, also cause damage in the surrounding blood vessels, nerves and tissues. For this reason, post-operative recovery period is quite long and also intense bruising and edema is so common in patients during and after surgery.
Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty Difference
There was a need for a technology that allows us to make more controlled intervention to the nasal bones during nose surgery. The latest technological device called Piezo came to our rescue, that uses piezoelectric-powered ultrasonic instruments with piezoelectric inserts (PEI) which vibrate with ultrasonic waves to cut into the bone and hard cartilage without breaking them. The concept of rhinoplasty in Turkey was actually born when we started using this latest technological device in our surgeries.
To put it simply, We want to cut and shape a piece of glass. When we try to shape on the glass using a hammer and chisel, we will probably not be able to cut the glass from where we want, and we will cause countless fractures and explosions on the glass. There is even a risk that the glass may become salty.

Advantages of Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty
With traditional rhinoplasty, the use of instruments like chisels cause damage to the surrounding blood vessels, nerves and soft tissues which cause lots of bleeding, swelling and bruising.
In ultrasonic rhinoplasty, where we shape the bones without breaking them, instead using ultrasonic sound waves results in less bruising and swelling. Because the bones are shaped without breaking, there is no damage to the blood vessels and nerves. For this reason, the concept of rhinoplasty without bruising has started to emerge. Since there is minimal trauma to the bone, vessels, nerves and soft tissue, healing is quicker. Thus, patients can return to work, school or social life in a week time.
With ultrasonic rhinoplasty, we can make more elegant and stylish noses because we shape the bones without breaking them. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is an increasingly widespread surgery all over the world and in our country due to the absence of bruising,
