Ultrasonic rhinoplasty with rib graft combines cutting-edge technology and structural techniques to achieve both aesthetic enhancement and functional nasal correction. At Clínica Pérez Villar, we perform these procedures with a personalized, safe, and highly precise approach to ensure long-lasting, natural results.
What is ultrasonic rhinoplasty?
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty differs from traditional techniques in that it uses piezoelectric instruments to sculpt the nasal bones with millimetric precision. This method minimizes trauma to surrounding soft tissues, resulting in a faster recovery, less bruising, and more accurate outcomes. It is especially effective for correcting asymmetries, dorsal humps, or deviated septums.
When is a rib graft necessary?
A rib cartilage graft is indicated when additional structural support is required—often in cases where the septal cartilage is insufficient due to previous surgeries or when the nose needs strong reconstruction. This graft allows the surgeon to shape and position it to reinforce the nasal tip, raise the dorsum, or correct airway collapse, offering long-term stability.
Real case: ultrasonic surgery with rib graft
In this article, we present a recent case of ultrasonic rhinoplasty with rib graft. The patient presented with wide nasal bones and a deviated septum shifted to the left, which significantly impaired his breathing. He also had a mixed dorsal hump and an underprojected tip with poor support.
He had previously undergone septoplasty at another clinic, which limited the use of his septal cartilage. We proposed an advanced surgical plan: ultrasonic rhinoplasty with rib cartilage graft, enabling us to provide solid support, improve nasal projection, and correct asymmetries.
Surgical plan and outcome
The surgery was carefully planned and executed. During the procedure:
- The dorsal hump was smoothed for a straighter nasal profile.
- The nasal tip was projected and defined using the graft.
- The septal deviation was corrected, and the dorsal aesthetic lines were improved.
- Nasal asymmetries were addressed for a more balanced appearance.
The outcome was outstanding. The patient reported significant improvement in both breathing and appearance. He was extremely satisfied with the natural, straight, and well-proportioned result.
High-level technique for lasting results
Combining ultrasound and rib grafting offers advanced, stable solutions for complex or revision cases. In the hands of Dr. Pérez Villar, this approach ensures a nose that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally strong and functionally improved.
