Is Laser Rhinoplasty True?

Laser rhinoplasty is a marketing hype and is not a reality. The only time you would use a laser is for skin resurfacing or for significant acne scarring, or a disease called rhinophyma on the dorsum of the nose.

         A laser could be used, but it would result in thermal energy dissipation into tissues possibly causing cell death.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

No such thing as laser Rhinoplasty. Laser is a cutting/destroying tool. Only time we use laser is to reduce the enlarged turbinates, inside the nose or resurface the nasal skin outside.

 A rhinoplasty is performed with a very precise set of instruments  Such as knife, scissors, and osteotomes. A laser will not cut cartilage or bone.

In theory, almost any incision can be performed with a laser, the question is - would that improve your result or make things safer for you? "Laser"  added before the name of an operation doesn't always mean "better."
