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.

When people hear the word blepharoplasty, they often associate it with cosmetic surgery. However, there’s a medical side to this procedure known as functional blepharoplasty, which goes far beyond aesthetics: it aims to improve the patient’s quality of life when drooping eyelids affect vision and eye health.

In this article, we’ll explain when functional blepharoplasty is medically indicated, its health benefits, and why more and more ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons recommend it.

What is functional blepharoplasty?

Functional blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed on the upper or lower eyelids to correct issues that interfere with normal vision, such as excessive eyelid drooping (known as ptosis) or excess skin that obstructs the visual field.

Unlike cosmetic blepharoplasty—which focuses on rejuvenating the appearance of the eyes—functional blepharoplasty has a clear medical purpose, and in many cases, can be covered by health insurance when a visual impairment is demonstrated.

When is this surgery necessary?

Some common symptoms or conditions that may justify a functional blepharoplasty include:

  • Reduced upper visual field, especially when looking upward.
  • Eye fatigue, particularly after reading or screen use.
  • Tension headaches, due to overuse of the forehead muscles to lift the eyelids.
  • Heavy eyelids that make it difficult to keep the eyes open.
  • Eye dryness or irritation due to poor eyelid positioning.
  • Recurrent eyelid infections or inflammation, especially in the upper lid crease.

While more frequent in older adults, these issues can also affect younger patients due to genetics or underlying medical conditions.

How is the procedure performed?

Functional blepharoplasty is typically done under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting, meaning the patient can return home the same day. During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to improve both function and appearance—without altering the natural expression of the face.

At specialized centers like Clínica Pérez Villar, the procedure is performed using advanced technology and surgical precision to ensure a safe recovery with long-lasting, natural results.

Benefits of functional blepharoplasty

  • Improved visual field
  • Reduced eye strain and fatigue
  • Fewer tension headaches
  • Better eye hydration and reduced risk of infections
  • Improved comfort for everyday activities (reading, driving, screen use)

As an added benefit, the eyes often appear more awake and refreshed, though this is not the primary goal.

Medical evaluation: the first step

Before undergoing functional blepharoplasty, a complete ophthalmologic evaluation is essential. This includes testing the visual field, assessing skin elasticity, muscle tone, and overall eye health.

At Clínica Pérez Villar, patients receive a comprehensive medical and aesthetic assessment, ensuring that each procedure is both justified and tailored to individual needs.

Conclusion

Blepharoplasty is not just about aesthetics—it’s often a necessary medical procedure to restore visual function, prevent eye complications, and improve overall quality of life. If your eyelids feel heavy, interfere with your vision, or cause discomfort, it may be time to consult a specialist and explore your options.
