Greetings Dear

Thank you for your question. We are in Turkey and we offer same packages.  
The latest Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty device Piezo®:

In traditional Rhinoplasty, surgical instruments known as rasps and osteotomies (hammer and chisel) are used to reshape the nasal bones by removing the hump and/or narrowing the nasal bone width. These tools are relatively imprecise and their use can lead to contour irregularities, etc. if not used in the proper manner. Recently, a technology that uses sound waves has been developed to contour nasal bones in a precise and far less traumatic way when compared to traditional techniques. Ultrasonic, or Piezo, Rhinoplasty is now the most advanced technology available for minimally traumatic nasal bone reshaping and hump removal during Rhinoplasty. There will be hardly any bruising and swelling which will make the recovery period a lot easier for the patient.

Remember, ultrasonic rhinoplasty really just describes the use of a specific instrument for reshaping the bony parts of the nose. It's really a tool, not a technique per se. It requires an open rhinoplasty approach, which is fine. But bear in mind that the nasal tip is cartilage and thus any changes to the tip are still performed with traditional instruments and techniques like scissors, scalpels, grafts, and sutures. In the end, the importance is the result, not the instruments used in getting there. Be sure to focus on finding a well-qualified and experienced surgeon for your rhinoplasty.

All the best,

This device is designed for open Rhinoplasty which is in opining- is far more traumatic and damaging to the nose than the closed technique. I find that bony realignment is best achieved through the closed technique using the appropriate tools. In the right hands- the closed technique is far more superior. I highly recommend that you seek a Surgeon with extensive Rhinoplasty experience and a wide gallery of before and after photos

USR has become a well-recognized technique in rhinoplasty. It's not only different instruments, but another way to reshape the bony vault, remove a hump, fix a bony asymmetry or a wide bony vault...in preservation rhinoplasty and structural rhinoplasty.Many experts in rhinoplasty are currently using USR in their daily practice. I don't know about Tampa, but Rick Davis in Miami is a world renowned rhino expert who masters ultrasonic rhinoplasty

Our practice in Tampa Bay, Florida offers ultrasonic Rhinoplasty. We have had this device for several years and we are one of the exclusive practices to have this technology for our patients. An in-person consultation would be necessary to determine whether you were a candidate for rhinoplasty using ultrasonic technology. Only certain candidates would qualify based on their aesthetic nasal structure. We can also discuss various structural and preservation rhinoplasty options.
