Should I use ultrasound therapy after revision rhinoplasty to breakdown scar tissue?

Question

Roberto E. Garcia, MD, FACS · Answer

I do not recommend using ultrasound for the possible removal of nasal scarring.  The best thing to have your surgeon do early on is to inject with Cortisone as this will slowly dissolve any scar tissue and leave you with a  very natural appearing nose.Thank you for the question.

I do not know of any published reports demonstrating use of US to break up nasal scarring. In general, I do not advocate the use of experimental modalities when it comes to the nose.
