With the developing technology in rhinoplasty surgeries, new techniques have emerged. One of these innovations, Piezo rhinoplasty, makes surgeries more comfortable and the recovery process easier for patients.
Piezo rhinoplasty is a rhinoplasty method that uses piezoelectric technology to precisely manipulate the bone. In this technique, it is possible to cut and shape only the bone without damaging the soft tissues around it. Compared to traditional cutting tools used in rhinoplasty, Piezo devices offer a more precise operation with vibration energy.
There are many advantages that are effective in choosing piezo rhinoplasty:
The Piezo device allows the surgeon to shape the bone with millimetric precision. This contributes to more natural and symmetrical surgical results.
Since Piezo technology only intervenes in the bone, cartilage and soft tissues are not damaged. This reduces the risk of post-operative complications.
After Piezo rhinoplasty, there is less bruising and swelling compared to traditional methods. This speeds up the recovery process of patients.
Thanks to sensitive interventions, the post-operative recovery process is shortened and patients can return to their daily lives more quickly.
Since piezo devices use vibration energy in bone cutting, the risk of causing trauma is lower than classical surgical instruments.
Technology and Precision
Piezo rhinoplasty is performed using piezoelectric vibration devices and allows the surgeon to shape the bone with millimeter precision. Traditional rhinoplasty uses conventional surgical instruments and is usually less precise.
The piezo method creates minimal trauma and works without damaging soft tissues. This reduces the risk of complications and speeds up the healing process. Traditional methods are more likely to damage soft tissues.
Thanks to piezo technology, post-operative swelling and bruising are minimal. In classic rhinoplasty, these effects may be more pronounced.
Piezo rhinoplasty offers a shorter recovery period. Patients can usually return to their daily lives within 7-10 days, while this period may be longer with classic rhinoplasty.
Piezo rhinoplasty has many features that positively affect the postoperative recovery process. Here are the details of this process:
Less Bruising and Swelling: Since the soft tissues are not damaged, postoperative swelling and bruising are minimal.
Return to Social Life in a Short Time: Patients can usually return to their daily activities within 7-10 days.
Fast Recovery: Less trauma allows the tissues to repair themselves faster.
A Comfortable Process: Less pain and discomfort are experienced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Let's answer some of the questions that patients are curious about about Piezo rhinoplasty:
Is Piezo technology suitable for everyone?
Yes, but the surgeon must make an assessment according to the patient's nose structure and surgery expectations.
Is it more expensive than classic rhinoplasty?
Due to the cost of Piezo devices, this method may be a little more expensive than the traditional method.
For which problems is Piezo rhinoplasty suitable?
If you need bone correction, shaping or nasal tip aesthetics in your nose, Piezo technology offers an effective solution.
What should be considered after Piezo rhinoplasty?
It is necessary to follow the recommendations in classic rhinoplasty. You should protect your nose from trauma. You should not wear glasses for three months. You should avoid heavy sports for one month.
Is it advantageous to have Piezo rhinoplasty in Istanbul?
