Technological developments in the field of surgery in recent years have made rhinoplasty an extremely easy and effortless process. Ultrasonic rhinoplastymakes the job of the plastic surgeon easier compared to the old conservative methods, and also makes the patient's recovery process comfortable after surgery.
With this method, called the piezo system, the surgeon replaces the old large hand tools. With sensitive small heads powered by ultrasonic electricity, it can shape the bone like a sculptor without breaking the bone tissue. With this method, uncontrolled bone fractures are prevented. Another advantage of the ultrasonic piezo system is that while it works by giving the desired shape in the bone, the system stops working when it reaches the soft tissue. This prevents the plastic surgeon from unintentionally damaging the tissue. When we look at the old conservative methods, when breaking large bones, the adjacent tissues were unintentionally damaged, causing bruising and swelling, especially in the eyes. Since the ultrasonic piezo system works on the tissue very precisely and gently, we see that there is almost no bruising or swelling.
In nose aesthetic surgery, bone structures often need to be filed down or regularly broken and repositioned in order to give the nose the desired shape. These procedures performed on the bone are called hump resection, madian osteotomy and lateral osteotomy in the medical literature. In the classical approach, controlled fracture lines created in the bones during surgery are made using a chisel and hammer called an osteotome. The most important cause of bruising, which starts from the edge of the nose and extends to the area around the eyes after rhinoplasty, which can sometimes be quite severe, is the bleeding that occurs in the surrounding soft tissue during these maneuvers performed on the bones.
When performing rhinoplasty with the ultrasonic system, the dissection is wide and a lateral osteotomy will be performed. The surgeon must see the area, that is, the surgeon sees the area where he operates. This means that there is no need for revision.
After the surgery, you stay in the hospital for one night, thin silicone leaf tampons are placed in the nose, these tampons affect the patient's breathing. It does not interfere with work.
Five days later, tampons are removed and the patient can return to his normal life.
