ULTRASONIC RHINOPLASTY SAN DIEGO

Are you looking for the best ultrasonic rhinoplasty surgeon in San Diego? Dr. Kolstad loves using ultrasonic energy to reshape and recontour the bridge. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also referred to as piezo rhinoplasty, is an innovative technology for reshaping nasal bones. A piezotome is a specialized energy device that uses high-speed sound waves to make precise cuts in bone while leaving surrounding soft tissues intact. Its ultrasonic wavelength targets only the bone, preserving the skin, nerves, periosteum, and mucosa. This approach minimizes trauma to soft tissues, resulting in reduced surgical bleeding and less bruising around the eyes. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty San Diego is an innovative and extraordinary new approach to rhinoplasty!

ULTRASONIC RHINOPLASTY CASE 2

This patient was unhappy with the shape of her nose, feeling that the bridge was too prominent and had a noticeable hump. She also thought the bridge started too high on her face and that the tip was drooping excessively. She wanted to lift the nasal tip and refine the cartilages to create a more harmonious fit with her facial features. Her nose had a collapse on the right bridge creating asymmetry and unevenness of the dorsal aesthetic lines.

Dr. Kolstad performed ultrasonic rhinoplasty to reduce her large dorsal hump. Complex grafting was added to the right nasal bridge to correct the collapsed cartilage, improve nasal airflow and straighten the bridge.
