I had 2 regular rhinoplasties done by the same surgeon. The tip grew back in profile view both times (it looks good from the front) Now i’m thinking out ultrasonic rhinoplasty it is said to cause less trauma and thus it might also trigger less cartilage formation?
Answer: Ultrasonic rhinoplasty or any type of rhinoplasty procedure does not create the formation of more or excessive cartilage. Without photos, it's difficult to understand exactly what your concerns are because for example, if you tend to have a bulbous tip, or if you are of ethnic origin the skin may be thicker thus being heavier at the tip. Meaning it would be difficult to refine the tip of the nose without the support of some cartilage. Often, grafts are needed to refine or define the tip of the nose in these types of cases.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty The most important thing is to select a surgeon who is experienced especially in revision rhinoplasty. Whether it will cause less cartilage to regrow is uncertain

Answer: Cartilage does not grow back after rhinoplasty surgery. Consider re-asking your question with photographs. Before and after photos may be helpful. Cartilage that is trimmed or removed does not grow back after rhinoplasty surgery. The same goes for nasal bone that is removed, such as a dorsal hump. We have never found the need for any ultrasonic devices performing rhinoplasty for 25 years. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Ultrasonic technique will add no benefit in preventing this during a revision. Based on your description it sounds like you need a nasal tip deprojection during your revision which has no connection at all to ultrasonic rhinoplasty. Here is some general advice in selecting a surgeon for your revision: I highly recommend that my patients focus much more on real longterm before and after photographs rather than 3D imaging. I encounter so many patients in my practice who see me for revision rhinoplasty who previously had surgery elsewhere who feel like they were mislead into surgery by surgeons who relied heavily on 3D imaging without adequate real before and after pictures to back it up. Photoshop is easy but real surgery is very different.
