I see this new ultrasonic rhinoplasty come up a lot and it says that the recovery time is shorter than the traditional rhinoplasty, but I don't see anything that gives a range. As someone who is interested in a nose job but who has always been afraid of the traditional surgery, I'm interested in knowing more about this method.

Answer: What is the expected recovery time for an ultrasonic rhinoplasty? Hello,Thank you for your question. The advantage of this technique is the possibility of cutting the bone in a smoother manner than the typical rasping and osteotome and may cause less bleeding while cutting the bone. Less bleeding will ensure less swelling and less bruising. The recovery varies from patient to patient. For my patients operated with the Closed and Atraumatic Technique even on the day 7 post op we don't see bruises and swelling is minimal. First half of swellings dissipate in two months, the other half following ten months. The final outcome can be seen at least after one year. Comparing to the open rhinoplasty Closed and Atraumatic Technique in Rhinoplasty minimizes swelling and bruises; maximizes healing, prevents tissue damage and eliminates a scar on the columella.

Answer: Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty Great question, and the answer is we will see!The ultrasonic tools are very popular right now, but there isn't great long term data on if the results are dramatically different. Keep in mind that the ultrasonic shaver is another tool to be used IN rhinoplasty, is isn't a substitute. It is not like a "liquid rhino" which is filler injected into the nose instead of having surgery. In surgery, the ultrasonic device is used to file the bone instead of a traditional rasp. The overall skill of the surgeon matters most, no matter what tools they are using. Best of luckDr Rodman
