Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is the most advanced technique in rhinoplasty surgery, known and used by very few surgeons worldwide, and Dr. Pablo Casas is one of them. This method allows reshaping the nasal bones without breaking them and in a less traumatic way, as it does not damage the soft tissue or the blood vessels lining the bone, reducing the swelling and bruising caused by the traditional method. Ultrasonic instruments allow Dr. Casas to perform a more controlled and precise remodeling of the bones of the nose, thereby achieving greater control in the results of surgery.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex surgical procedures. The ideal surgeon, is that expert surgeon, who can correct both deviations of the septum that cause bad breath, and anomalies in the shape of the nose that cause an aesthetic problem. In short, these criteria are met by an otolaryngologist specialized in plastic surgery and aesthetics of the nose.

After the surgery it will be necessary to wear a splint on the nose for a week. Patients usually return to work 7-10 days after surgery, at that time the bruising under the eyes and most of the inflammation will have disappeared. Even so, the nose will continue with a process of inflammation during the following weeks. Avoid intense sports during the first month. About 70% of the inflammation after rhinoplasty surgery decreases during the first month. The remaining 30% of the swelling will take between 9 months and a year to disappear.

This question is very frequent, and Dr. Casas always says the same: NO. Rhinoplasty does not hurt, recovery is quite fast, and in a few days normal activity is recovered. The main symptoms during the first week are nasal congestion similar to that of a cold, but it will disappear in about 6 or 7 days. This congestion can cause some small headache sensation but it easily disappears by taking a mild analgesic.
