Ultrasonic rhinoplasty - Case JV300623
This patient came to me with a broken nose that had lost its structure: a bridge collapsed into a saddle shape, a drooping tip, severe deviation and difficulty breathing. I performed an open structural post-traumatic rhinoplasty, using the ultrasonic technique to reposition the bones and rebuilding the support with cartilage from his own septum, with no need for a rib graft. General anaesthesia and a splint for ten days. The photographs are at nine months: the bridge has recovered its line, the tip its projection, and the nose is centred again and breathing. More about this surgery on the post-traumatic rhinoplasty page.
