Nose Aesthetics with Piezo Method
Since rhinoplasty often requires reshaping or repositioning the nasal bones, nasal surgeries have often resorted to the traditional method of using hammers and chisels to break the bones. However, in some nose surgeries, piezo (piezoelectric tips), a new type of rhinoplasty device that includes ultrasound, is used. In this article, we'll talk about how piezo works, who it's suitable for, and the results you can get from this new opportunity.
What is Piezo?
Piezo uses a motorized device to make precise, step-by-step changes to your nose. Vibrations from the crystals are transmitted to small, specially shaped tips that can cut and flatten bone. Diamond coated tips can also shape bone. The benefit of this type of rhinoplasty is that it can more accurately target specific areas of the nose without damaging soft tissues such as cartilage and prevent so-called 'spreading fracture lines', lines extending from the point of impact. It can also help prevent sharp edges and irregularities.
Who Is Piezo Therapy Suitable For?
The main areas where Piezo is useful are; asymmetry, protrusions on the bridge, nasal hump and irregularities. For piezo rhinoplasty we need to lift more of the soft tissues, but this means we can see more and get a better understanding of your nose shape. Piezo means we have new opportunities to further slim and shape your nose shape. It also allows us to better control the shape of your nose and the position of your nasal bones.
Results of Piezo Nose Aesthetics Method
My impression is that I have better control over creating a smooth bridge with the piezo. It's important to remember, though, that the piezo is just a tool, and any tool is only as good as the hands of the surgeon using it.
