Difference between laser and scalpel rhinoplasty? What is better?

A laser is simply a cutting tool like a knife or a scissor. The laser will not cut bone or cartilage. There is no reason to place a laser in the nose to perform a rhinoplasty. Traditional rhinoplasty techniques are performed with a knife, scissors and an osteotome.

Laser is an excellent tool for making changes in the skin and for operating on patients with bleeding problems or for whom blood loss is a concern. However, it is less precise than a fine scalpel and fine-tipped scissors, which are the standard for most surgeon who are doing a true rhinoplasty and not a treatment for rhinophyma or other skin disorder.Please click on the link below to see a rhinoplasty performed with sharp instruments.
