Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a advanced surgical technique used in cosmetic surgery to reshape and improve the shape of the nose.
Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which is performed using conventional surgical instruments, ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses an ultrasonic device that emits high-frequency vibrations to make precise cuts in the nasal bones and tissues.
During the ultrasonic rhinoplasty procedure, an instrument called an ultrasonic osteotome is used to make cuts in the bones of the nose, allowing for more precise and smoother control. This facilitates reshaping of the nasal bones and correction of deformities, such as a prominent dorsal hump or a deviated nasal bridge.
Dr. Riba explains in this video the differences between conventional and ultrasonic rhinoplasty.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a surgical technique used to address a variety of aesthetic and functional problems related to the shape and structure of the nose. Some of the problems that can be resolved with ultrasonic rhinoplasty include:
It is important to note that ultrasonic rhinoplasty not only addresses aesthetic problems, but can also improve nasal function, such as obstructed breathing due to a deviated nasal septum.

+ big nose
+ crooked nose
+ nose with ridge
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound technology to precisely shape the nasal bones. Unlike traditional techniques, which may require the use of hammers and chisels, ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses high-frequency waves to fracture and sculpt the nasal bones in a more controlled manner, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. This allows for more precise surgery and faster recovery.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, and the intervention can last between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. One of the main advantages of ultrasonic rhinoplasty is the reduction of bruising and postoperative swelling, which favors a more comfortable and faster recovery. In addition, this type of rhinoplasty is ideal for patients who wish to correct both the aesthetics and functionality of the nose, as in cases of nasal septum deviation.

The price of an ultrasonic rhinoplasty can vary according to the specific needs of the patient. Generally, the price starts at 5,000 euros. It is important to note that this initial price may vary depending on individual circumstances and additional options chosen during the procedure.
Like any surgery, ultrasonic rhinoplasty has some risks, although they are minor compared to traditional techniques due to its precision. Possible risks include infection, bleeding, reactions to anesthesia and unwanted scarring. However, ultrasonic technology minimizes many of these risks by reducing damage to surrounding tissues, which also reduces postoperative swelling and bruising.
In addition, although it is a very safe procedure, it is crucial that the patient follows all of the surgeon’s recommendations during the recovery period. Failure to follow the proper indications may increase the risk of complications. It is essential to choose an experienced surgeon specialized in ultrasonic rhinoplasty to ensure the best results and avoid possible inconveniences.
The postoperative period and recovery from ultrasonic rhinoplasty can be as follows vary according to the patient and the complexity of the procedure. However, the following provides an overview of what to expect during the recovery period:
It is important to keep in mind that recovery time may vary among patients. It is crucial to follow the postoperative instructions provided by your surgeon and inform him/her if you have any concerns or questions during the recovery process.

Piezoelectric technology uses a specialized scalpel that operates by means of ultrasonic vibrations, allowing precise cuts and safe bone modeling.
This device has the advantage of not damaging other nearby tissues, such as cartilage, mucosa, muscles or blood vessels.
Thanks to this precision, it is possible to perform surgery without affecting adjacent tissues, which significantly reduces the risk of postoperative edema and hematoma. In addition, the use of nasal packing is not necessary after surgery.
Yes, although these simulations do not guarantee 100% of the final result, they are very useful tools to improve communication between the physician and the patient.
They allow the patient’s expectations to be represented graphically, which gives the surgeon the opportunity to explain the possible results depending on the case. This is important, as not all nasal anatomies allow for the same results. By doing so, greater satisfaction with the final result is achieved.
The main difference is that conventional rhinoplasty uses chisels, hammers and files to perform osteopathy to reshape the nasal bones. The results of conventional rhinoplasty are very positive, but the most common injury is to the soft structures near the bone, which increases swelling and bruising in the postoperative period.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses an ultrasonic scalpel that works with high precision, avoiding damage to the soft tissues around the cartilage and bone, as well as uncomfortable postoperative bruising that makes it impossible to quickly continue with the daily routine.
The Piezotome® is a versatile tool that allows to cut, carve and polish bone with millimetric precision, achieving a very high level of accuracy.
Ultrasound rhinoplasty can be considered the most advanced method in the field of rhinoplasty surgery today and is increasingly used worldwide because it is less traumatic than conventional rhinoplasty.
Recovery time is generally faster than with traditional techniques.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty causes less tissue trauma, allowing for faster recovery.
Yes, always under the surgeon’s recommendation, this procedure can sometimes be performed under local anesthesia and sedation, with no admission, no nasal packing, no discomfort and an incredibly fast recovery.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is not only indicated to improve the aesthetics of the nose, but can also be used to improve nasal function. Thanks to its precision, this type of surgery not only allows a more accurate molding of the bony and cartilaginous structures of the nose to obtain a more harmonious aesthetic result, but it is also very useful to treat functional problems, such as:
An outpatient surgical procedure is used. As a result, you will not need to stay overnight in a hospital and can return home the same day of the procedure. Once the anesthesia wears off, you can go home.
It is performed under general anesthesia.
By separating the skin from the bone and cartilage of the nose, and with ultrasound energy we can reshape the bones. With the help of this high-precision technology, the nasal bones can be contoured more precisely. The surrounding tissue, cartilage, blood vessels and mucosal lining are not affected because only the bone can withstand the ultrasonic energy.
General anesthesia is administered to the patient prior to the surgical procedure, which lasts approximately 90 minutes.
We must include, to the operating room time, the preparations (pre-surgical marking, etc.) and the immediate postoperative period (residence in the PACU, or post-anesthesia resuscitation unit).
During surgery, the patient’s companions usually estimate the total waiting time to be three to four hours.
Yes, it can also be used to correct a wide nose.
