Otorhinolaryngologist – Ultrasonic rhinoplasty specialist
ULTRASONIC RHINOPLASTY IN MADRID
Traditional rhinoplasty is a surgery based on the transformation of the cartilage and bones that make up the nose. There are two cartilages that make up the nose: the alar cartilages , which form the tip, and the triangular cartilages , which form part of the back. For their part, the bones that make up the nose are the nasal bones that are attached to the maxillary and frontal bones, respectively.
Nasal plastic surgery had advanced a lot in recent decades with cartilage management of the nose. Every year new cartilage grafts or specific techniques were discovered using threads to remodel the shape of the cartilage and therefore, the shape of the nasal tip. However, the way of treating nasal bones remained the same until a few years ago. Files and chisels very similar to a carpenter’s tools were used to modify the nasal bones. This meant poor precision in the cuts and a lot of postoperative inflammation (edema and bruising).
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty has transformed the way the nasal bones are managed using the PIEZOTOME. The piezotome is an instrument reminiscent of dental devices, which generates an ultrasonic vibration that only cuts the bone very precisely without injuring the soft tissues.
- It does not affect soft tissues: it does not injure cartilage, skin, mucosa, or blood vessels.
- Make very precise cuts in the nasal bones.
In this way we can file the bony nasal dorsum with much greater accuracy and say goodbye to most rhinoplasty touch-ups.

- Better postoperative.
