What is Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also called a piezo ultrasonic rhinoplasty, is a modern facial plastic surgery technique that uses ultrasonic waves to sculpt the nasal bones with incredible accuracy without breaking them using traditional rhinoplasty instruments like chisels or rasps. This method allows for:

  • Less trauma to surrounding tissues
  • Reduced bruising and swelling
  • More control over shaping the nose
  • A smoother, more refined result

Because of its gentle nature, ultrasonic rhinoplasty can deliver stunning outcomes while making the healing process easier for you.

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty surgery is ideal for individuals who are seeking aesthetic improvements to the structure of their nose and do not wish to undergo traditional rhinoplasty techniques.

Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty Pre-Op Recommendations

Preparing for your ultrasonic rhinoplasty is an important part of ensuring a safe and successful experience. Before surgery, Dr. Gilpin and our team will guide you through a series of pre-operative instructions tailored to your individual needs.

Typically, patients are asked to avoid medications or supplements that could increase the risk of bleeding for a couple of weeks before their procedure. It’s also recommended to stop smoking during this time, as it can interfere with healing. You’ll have a detailed consultation where we review your medical history, discuss your cosmetic goals, and make sure you feel fully informed and comfortable heading into surgery. Planning ahead for your recovery, such as arranging time off work and having help at home, can also make a big difference in your overall experience.

The Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty Procedure

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia at our accredited surgical facility. Once you’re fully asleep and comfortable, Dr. Gilpin begins by making carefully placed incisions, either inside the nostrils or across the columella, depending on the type of access needed. With the help of specialized ultrasonic technology, he then gently sculpts and refines the nasal bones with precision that’s simply not possible with alternative tools. This approach allows for a more customized result with a high degree of control.

After the reshaping is complete, the nasal tissues are repositioned, and a splint is typically applied to support the nose during the initial healing phase. The procedure generally takes between one and a half to three hours, depending on the complexity of the case.

Results and Recovery for Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

Recovery from ultrasonic rhinoplasty is often smoother and more comfortable than traditional rhinoplasty, thanks to the reduced trauma to the surrounding tissue. While some swelling and minor bruising can still occur, especially around the eyes, many piezoelectric rhinoplasty patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable their recovery feels.

Most people are able to return to work or resume social activities within a week to ten days. A splint is typically worn for about seven days to help maintain the new shape and protect the healing nose. While subtle swelling may linger for a few months, the improved contours of the nose begin to emerge within weeks and continue to refine over time. Patients love the natural look and feel of their results, as well as the enhanced confidence that comes with them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is nose job permanent?

A well-performed rhinoplasty by a facial plastic surgeon is expected to be permanent. However, the younger you are when having rhinoplasty, there is a small but increased chance of your nose changing shape with age.

Why do nose jobs collapse?

Rhinoplasties collapse when they are performed in such a way that eliminates the underlying structure of nasal bone and supportive tissue. Over time, the skin above this structure sags and changes the appearance of the nose.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER FROM RHINOPLASTY? WILL I BE IN PAIN AFTERWARDS?

Most of Dr. Gilpin's Nashville nose surgery patients report minimal pain after the procedure, and the most common concern is nasal congestion and “stuffiness” because of post-operative swelling and bruising. Patients will need about one week of downtime to recover from rhinoplasty surgery. During this time, it's important to be very gentle with your nose when washing your face or applying cosmetics. After the first five-to-seven days, people can usually return to work and resume their regular daily activities. However, strenuous exercise should be avoided until Dr. Gilpin determines that your nose has healed properly. Dr. Gilpin's follow-up schedule includes an appointment four days after surgery, then one week, two weeks, six months, and one year. At your first follow-up appointments, he can make sure you're healing optimally and clear you for physical activity, when appropriate. In the case of non-surgical rhinoplasty, downtime is very minimal. Patients might experience minor swelling or bruising, but this typically doesn't last more than a day and can usually be covered by makeup.

WHERE WILL MY RHINOPLASTY IN NASHVILLE BE PERFORMED?

Dr. Gilpin's procedures are typically performed at the Cool Springs Surgery Center, which is a fully accredited, state-of-the-art surgical center conveniently located in Nashville, TN.

CAN I WEAR GLASSES AFTER MY NOSE SURGERY?

Patients who wear contact lenses can resume wearing contacts immediately after nose surgery; however, patients who wear glasses will need to take extra precaution. If you need to wear glasses during the first four-to-six weeks after nose surgery, it's recommended that you either tape your glasses to your forehead or buy a special device that allows the glasses to rest on your cheeks instead of your nose. These devices are commonly used by patients after rhinoplasty.

WILL I BE ABLE TO GO HOME AFTER MY NOSE SURGERY IS COMPLETE?

Yes, after your nose surgery is complete you will be able to go home. Rhinoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis. As a caveat, you will still be under the effects of anesthesia after surgery, so you will need a responsible adult to drive you home afterwards. Also, you might want to consider arranging for someone to help you out for a day or two after surgery. This will allow you to relax and maximize your recovery time from rhinoplasty.

DOES RHINOPLASTY LEAVE NOTICEABLE SCARS?

Your rhinoplasty scars will be virtually undetectable. The incision is made across the columella, which is the bridge of skin and tissue between the nostrils. The remainder of the incisions are all made inside of the nose.u00a0At the conclusion of the nose surgery, Dr. Gilpin meticulously closes the columellar incision with fine sutures, which leaves almost no trace of the incision.

WHEN WILL THE STITCHES BE REMOVED AFTER RHINOPLASTY?

Stitches are typically removed six or seven days after nose surgery.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FROM RHINOPLASTY?

Complications from rhinoplasty are rare, especially when performed by a board-certified surgeon on appropriately selected candidates. However, as with any surgery, risks are still possible. General complications after rhinoplasty include adverse reaction to anesthesia, poor healing, nosebleed, and infection.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS FROM NOSE SURGERY?

You will probably notice an immediate improvement in the appearance of your nose, but the final results will become more evident as swelling goes down over the coming weeks and months after your procedure. It may take up to a year for the final results of your rhinoplasty to become apparent. It's normal to feel a bit anxious to see the full results, but keep in mind that your body needs time to fully heal. Every day your swelling will subside, allowing you to adjust to your newly sculpted nose.

Is it better to go to an ENT or plastic surgeon for rhinoplasty?

It depends on your goals. An ENT surgeon may be ideal if your primary concern is functional issues like breathing, while a plastic surgeon focuses on the cosmetic aspects of reshaping the nose. Many patients prefer a specialist with dual expertise in ENT and facial plastic surgery to address function and aesthetics.

Where is the best place to get a nose job?

The best place to get a rhinoplasty is with a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon experienced in rhinoplasty. Look for a provider with extensive before-and-after photos, positive reviews, and expertise in rhinoplasty surgery.
