The technique

Traditional vs ultrasonic rhinoplasty

Not all rhinoplasties are the same. Understanding the difference helps you make the right decision.

Traditional technique

Rhinoplasty with metal chisel

  • Uses chisels and hammers to reshape the nasal bone
  • Greater trauma to surrounding soft tissue
  • More post-operative swelling and bruising
  • Longer recovery: 3–4 visible weeks
  • Well-established technique with decades of results
Ultrasonic technique

Rhinoplasty with piezoelectric device

  • Ultrasound energy that acts exclusively on bone
  • Preserves soft tissue and blood vessels
  • Significantly less swelling and visible bruising
  • Faster recovery: 7–15 days
  • Greater precision in nasal bone reshaping

Frequently asked questions

What patients ask most

Am I a candidate for ultrasonic rhinoplasty?
Most patients who want to change the shape of their nose are candidates. The free online consultation with Dr. Pérez Villar will determine whether the ultrasonic technique is the best fit for your specific case.
How long until I see the final result?
The main swelling disappears within 2–3 weeks. The final result becomes visible after 6–12 months, once the tissues have fully settled. The ultrasonic technique significantly reduces initial swelling.
Can rhinoplasty be combined with functional septoplasty?
Yes. Rhinoseptoplasty combines aesthetic refinement with functional respiratory improvement in a single procedure. It is a very common option that Dr. Pérez Villar assesses during the initial consultation.
What is the difference between a maxillofacial surgeon and a plastic surgeon?
A maxillofacial surgeon has specific training in the anatomy of the skull, face, and neck, providing a deeper understanding of nasal bone structure. This specialisation is particularly relevant in ultrasonic rhinoplasty, where precision is paramount.
How much time off work will I need?
With the ultrasonic technique, recovery is considerably faster. Most patients return to desk-based work within 7–10 days. Strenuous physical activity should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Many international patients plan their trip to Santander to allow for this recovery period before flying home.
Is the online consultation really free?
Yes, the online consultation with Dr. Pérez Villar is completely free of charge. You can send your photos and questions and receive a personalised response. The in-person clinic appointment carries a fee, which is deducted from the cost of the procedure if you decide to proceed.
