Piezo rhinoplasty - a modern preservation surgery of the nose

One of the most sought-after aesthetic procedures in Croatia, but also in the world, is certainly nose surgery, known as rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty solves aesthetic problems of the nose, such as a hump in profile, size and width, and the shape and position of the tip of the nose.

Thanks to the development of technology and medicine itself, patients today recover from nose surgery much faster and are more satisfied with the results. This is made possible by preservation rhinoplasty , that is, as many call it, rhinoplasty of the 21st century.

Although it has only been talked about in the last few years, we have been using preservation rhinoplasty at the Bagatin Polyclinic for the last three years. The reason for this is that patients recover faster and experience significantly less pain, bruising, and swelling, but above all – this method of rhinoplasty preserves the nasal structures to the maximum extent possible.

During advanced conservative rhinoplasty, a Piezo saw is used to correct the bony part of the nose and is most useful in correcting the profile of the nose. The Piezo saw uses an ultrasonic shaping technique and is equipped with a variety of different attachments to make the corrections as precisely as possible. During the removal of the bone part, or hump, trauma is reduced, healing is accelerated, and the possibility of visible irregularities in the nasal pyramid that create asymmetries is reduced.

Today, in modern rhinoplasty, instead of breaking, we have reshaping and reorienting the bone and cartilage. In this way, in addition to preserving the structure of the nose itself, we also work to preserve soft tissues such as nerves and blood vessels. As a result, the patient’s recovery will take less time.

Preservation rhinoplasty greatly reduces the possibility of developing medical and aesthetic problems a year after surgery, such as loss of structural strength of the nose.

We can say that the key advantages of modern nose preservation surgery are:

• Maximum preservation of nasal structures
• Prevented uncontrolled bone fractures and the appearance of deformities and irregularities after surgery
• A more precise correction of the nose that enables a nicer transition from the bony pyramid to the tip of the nose
• Faster patient recovery

Many patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their nose postpone undergoing the procedure for several reasons – fear of anesthesia, the final result, and the recovery period after rhinoplasty. All of these fears are completely normal, and during your consultation, we will explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.

A special advantage of consultations at the Bagatin Polyclinic is the VECTRA XT 3D device, thanks to which the patient can see what the nose will look like after the procedure, express their wishes and receive an expert opinion.

The goal of rhinoplasty is to achieve harmony between the nose and the rest of the face, and depending on the problem and in agreement with the patient, the best surgical method is chosen.

We are proud to have solved many patients’ aesthetic and functional nose problems so far, with the goal of harmonizing the new appearance of the nose with the rest of the face. In the right hands, rhinoplasty can enhance the appearance of the entire face, and increase the patient’s self-confidence and quality of life.
