This is a recurring query: patients come to our clinic wanting to fix the appearance of their nose and ask about the differences between ultrasonic rhinoplasty, traditional rhinoplasty, rhinomodelling or non-surgical rhinoplasty.
Each patient has their own indication; not every patient can have a non-surgical rhinoplasty (nose reshaping with fillers), as it is a technique intended to conceal a minor defect of the nose, a discreet hump, a slightly drooping nasal tip, a dorsum that is too small… these are the cases where non-surgical rhinoplasty can help us solve these details and greatly improve our appearance.
Rhinomodelling is performed in the clinic; it is not a surgical procedure and falls within the field of aesthetic medicine.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty or non-surgical rhinoplasty
Rhinomodelling is performed with hyaluronic acid, a filler product, and gives an immediate result, but we must bear in mind that the results are temporary, since hyaluronic acid lasts for a limited time and the procedure must therefore be repeated every 10 or 12 months.
Surgical rhinoplasty is a different matter: it allows a complete remodelling of the nose, modifying height, width, length, dorsum, nasal root, nasolabial angle, septum, nasal tip… as well as functional problems that prevent proper breathing.
Rhinoplasty is a facial cosmetic surgery that can be of two types: traditional or ultrasonic. In our clinic we only perform the ultrasonic one, after confirming that it offers a number of important advantages over traditional rhinoplasty, which we are going to explain to you.
The main difference between ultrasonic Rhinoplasty in Girona and conventional rhinoplasty is the osteotomy, a manoeuvre the surgeon performs to break the nasal bones using ultrasound. This difference gives us greater precision and less bruising, so the appearance of bruises is much lower and we also reduce swelling; recovery with the ultrasonic technique is faster; the immediate postoperative period involves a protective splint on the bridge of the nose that must be worn for a week , and the results are seen immediately, especially when we remodel the bone of the nose, while the tip takes a little longer to define its shape.
