It is a surgical procedure aimed at favorably altering the shape of the nose, in addition to improving its functionality, by changing aspects such as the nasal hump, depressions on the nasal bridge, deviations of the nose to the sides (crooked nose), or defining and modifying the position of the nasal tip. High-power devices like piezotome improve our results.
The past 10 years have been exciting as they have allowed us to understand the importance of high-precision instruments, such as the piezotome. This device vibrates ultrasonically, enabling extremely precise cuts in osteotomies without generating heat or damaging surrounding soft tissues. This significantly reduces swelling, bruising, and hematomas, while also accelerating recovery and minimizing downtime. Initial results can be observed after 3 months, with the final outcome being assessable one year after the procedure.
