In addition to improved results, rhinoplasty has evolved with the emergence of less traumatic techniques that minimize postoperative swelling.
Rhinoplasty, one of the most popular plastic surgeries in the world, has evolved significantly in recent years, offering significant benefits to patients in terms of improved self-esteem, facial beautification and perceived anti-aging.
“But the evolution is not only in the aesthetic field: the new techniques no longer use the hammer, the patient is no longer so swollen and purple, healing is faster, and there is no longer the need to use the nasal plug ”, explains plastic surgeon Paolo Rubez, member of BAPS (Brazilian Association of Plastic Surgeons) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
According to the doctor, with technological progress, the techniques have also become refined and, with a more in-depth knowledge of the nasal anatomy, rhinoplasty has become an increasingly effective and safe option for those seeking to improve the aesthetics of their nose . Today, for example, it is no longer necessary to use a nose plug after surgery.
“The swab was used to prevent bleeding, but this is a measure that is no longer necessary due to the evolution of techniques, which have made the post-operative period much calmer, guaranteeing more comfort for the patient,” says Paolo.
The hammer is a thing of the past
Furthermore, many people chose not to undergo the operation due to the way in which it was performed, with the aid of a small hammer to fracture the bone, which required a long recovery time, with the presence of swelling and ecchymosis.
“But the good news is that, as studies advance in the field of plastic surgery, techniques are emerging that promise to reduce recovery times while providing excellent results, such as ultrasonic rhinoplasty,” says Paolo.
“Ultrasonic rhinoplasty aims to treat the bony part of the nose using a device which, through vibrations, allows the surgeon to reshape the bone and perform the nasal fracture necessary for the operation in a less traumatic way,” he adds.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty
Performed under the effect of anesthesia, ultrasound rhinoplasty has the same indications as the traditional technique, being recommended for all patients who need to treat the bony part of the nose, but has the advantage of being more precise and preserving important structures of the nose . , such as cartilage, mucosa and blood vessels present in the region, resulting in reduced swelling, bleeding, hematoma and inflammation in the postoperative period.
“This makes the recovery process from surgery quicker and smoother, allowing the patient to return to routine activities more quickly,” the surgeon emphasizes.
According to the specialist, being more precise, the results of ultrasound rhinoplasty are more predictable and better since the device allows changes to the bones that were not possible before.
“Typically, the final result of traditional rhinoplasty is achieved in approximately 12-18 months. But in ultrasonic rhinoplasty this period tends to be shorter, precisely because it causes less swelling,” he says.
As for postoperative care, these are the same as conventional surgery. “In this way, the ideal is that, for a week, the patient remains at rest and avoids physical effort”, warns the doctor.
No contraindications
Another advantage of ultrasound rhinoplasty is the fact that it has no contraindications directly related to the use of the new technology.
“The possible complications of ultrasonic rhinoplasty are the same as any surgery and include the possibility of bruising, infection and bleeding. As for contraindications, ultrasound rhinoplasty, like the conventional technique, is not recommended for children, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, patients with coagulation problems, who use any type of anticoagulant or who have any non-specific disease. controlled”, concludes Paolo Rubez. .
