The Piezo rhinoplasty trend, which means reshaping the nasal bones with the power of electricity without breaking them, is a brand new rhinoplasty surgery invented by Italians. The bone structure is cooled and shaped with special devices. In this way, the tissue integrity of the nose is not damaged. Stating that there is no need to perform a breaking process as in other rhinoplasty techniques, Plastic Surgeon Op. Dr Cahit Vural states that in the Piezo method, the bone can be stretched by filing in the desired direction and in many patients, even a tampon is not applied after surgery. Another important feature of this method is that it is seasonless. Stating that Piezo is a good alternative for patients who stay away from aesthetic operations in the summer months, Dr Cahit Vural’s information about this newest method is as follows;
The Latest Trend in Rhinopilasty: Piezo (Electric Rhinoplasty)
The Piezo rhinoplasty trend, which means reshaping the nasal bones with the power of electricity without breaking the nasal bones, is a brand new rhinoplasty surgery found by Italians.

What is Piezo aesthetics?
The most important change in rhinoplasty in recent years is the use of a device that shapes the bone with an energy created by ultrasound called Piezo.
In almost all rhinoplasty surgeries, interventions are made in the nasal bone. The piezo system is a technology that allows us to cut and shape the nasal bone in a very fine way without damaging the skin and cartilage, allowing us to make clear and fine bone cuts and rasps.
Is postoperative recovery faster with this method?
Bone healing in piezo rhinoplasty surgeries allows 60% faster healing compared to the conventional (old) method. The most important thing for the patient in the postoperative period in rhinoplasty is a smooth healing process by causing less swelling and bruising.
So in this case, your patients can have this surgery in the summer months?
Certainly. Since there is a very fast healing process, our patients do not need to skip the summer months. Previously, plasters or bandages on the nose could cause sweating and cause discomfort to the patients. However, technology has now developed a lot in this regard. Since the new generation splints can pass air, sweating is at a minimum level. Nevertheless, there are two situations that our patients who will have nasal surgery in summer should pay attention to. The first is that they cannot use sunglasses for a few months; the second is to protect the nasal skin from the sun with cream or a hat. There is no problem for patients to swim in the sea two weeks after the operation.
What awaits the patients during the recovery process?
The most common question that patients ask before surgery is whether the tampon placed in the nose after surgery will prevent breathing. By using leaf-shaped silicone tampons, which are very comfortable to use, the person’s airway is not blocked and at the same time a comfortable feeling is provided. When the tampons are removed, contrary to popular belief, the patient feels minimal pain.
When can patients return to work and social life?
Another important issue for patients is when they can return to work and normal life. The patient is hospitalised one night after the nose surgery and the tampons are removed after 5 to 7 days. Some patients may also be recommended massage after 3 weeks. The patient is recommended not to wear glasses for 6 months. For 2 months, they should not enter the sea or pool.
