The Kinder, Gentler Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty has been within the top three most common cosmetic procedures for at least a decade. While it is commonly requested, traditional rhinoplasty does often come with extensive downtime and a potentially difficult recovery. The Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty is the latest, most innovative rhinoplasty technique and can help patients achieve a more refined facial profile with a smoother nose and a smoother recovery.
At Harmony Facial Plastic Surgery, we address the specific concerns and overall needs of the patient. Double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kate O'Connor provides each patient with tailored treatment plans and is passionate about providing unmatched patient care with treatments like Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty in Nashville.
The Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty procedure uses a piezoelectric device, which generates ultrasonic vibrations, to sculpt the nasal bone delicately and accurately providing a non-surgical nose transformation option. The precision of the ultrasonic device allows for smoother and more refined nasal contours, enhancing the aesthetic outcomes of the surgery. Since this innovative method does not affect any surrounding cartilage or soft tissues, it is incredibly gentle and may be thought of as the less invasive option.
This technique can be used for structural rhinoplasty, but it is particularly useful for preservation rhinoplasty, where the goal is to preserve as much of the existing, healthy nasal structure as possible while still meeting the patient's aesthetic goals. For example, instead of shaving off a nose hump from the top, Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty can be used to remove bone and cartilage from underneath the bridge of the nose, which is pushing up and causing the hump to appear. By taking an approach from below, the hump can be flattened without any surface disruption, resulting in a more reliable outcome.
Traditional rhinoplasty involves strategically breaking the nasal bones using a tool called an osteotome. In contrast, the Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty system uses ultrasound to shape, cut, and mold the bones, eliminating the need for the hammer and chisel method. Since the ultrasound cannot cut into skin or soft tissue, it is very precise and gentle. Clinical studies have proven that the recovery period after ultrasonic rhinoplasty is more comfortable, and our Nashville ultrasonic rhinoplasty patients experience less swelling and bruising.
This surgical procedure is an excellent alternative for those seeking to improve the appearance of their nose and achieve overall facial balance. With advanced technology, Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty offers smoother, more refined nasal contours and enhanced self-confidence.
This is typically a great option for both men and women, from teenagers and older, who are seeking to refine their nasal appearance. While this option is great for adjustments to bone, such as nose humps, it cannot address a bulbous tip or other tissue-related concerns. Those concerns would be addressed by Dr. O’Connor with suture and cartilage modification techniques.
During your comprehensive consultation for ultrasonic rhinoplasty Nashville Plastic Surgeon, Dr. O'Connor, will discuss the benefits of this procedure versus a traditional osteotomies during rhinoplasty and determine which is the optimal treatment for you. You will be provided with a treatment plan along with specific preparation instructions.
Recovery is usually quick and not excessively uncomfortable, and most of our Nashville ultrasonic rhinoplasty patients can return to their normal activities within one to two weeks. Patients typically see initial improvements in the shape and contour of their nose almost immediately after the procedure, but final results will appear as swelling subsides, typically within three to six months.

Most patients experience significantly less pain and discomfort when compared to a traditional rhinoplasty because this is a more gentle, less invasive approach.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is low-risk, especially compared to traditional rhinoplasty, since there is no risk of harming adjacent cartilage or soft tissue.
Most patients are able to return to work or normal daily activities after about seven to ten days, depending on the initial healing period and the level of swelling or bruising. Strenuous activity should be avoided for a few weeks to ensure proper healing.
This is a great procedure to combine with other aesthetic treatments for balanced and comprehensive results.
