Answer: Piezo technique for Rhinoplasty. In my practice, I use an open technique called Piezo. The device I use for this technique works with special ultrasonic waves and vibrations and it only works on bone tissue and stops when it touches soft tissue. With the Piezo technique, I resize and reshape the nasal structure with no trauma to the surrounding soft tissues and the bone. Therefore, your nose will not be broken. With this technique pain, bruising, and swelling will be minimal and recovery time is faster. Hope this helps.

Answer: Osteotomies may be required during rhinoplasty to narrow your nose after removal of a dorsal hump. The bridge of your nose resembles an A-framed roof top which is narrow at the peak, and wide at the base. When a rhinoplasty surgeon removes a dorsal hump, your frontal appearance may widen, and this may be referred to as an "open roof deformity". Closure of the open roof, or narrowing the upper 2/3 of your nose after hump removal typically involves osteotomies. Infracture of nasal bones is performed in a controlled fashion and leads to the majority of bruising and swelling postoperatively. Osteotomies do not lead to a more painful postoperative experience, however. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Answer: Not always necessary Breaking bones is only necessary if you need to reshape a particular part of the nose, such as to narrow the bridge. It is not aways done as sometimes cartilage or soft tissue manipulation is sufficient to achieve specific aesthetic concerns. In addition, if your nose is broken, it is done very carefully and accurately, so that the break can be controlled. It's not like getting punched in the nose or something like that.
