Information
Applications
Rhinoplasty should be performed with the criterion of correcting the aspects that disfigure and disproportionate the nose, hindering harmony with the rest of the face.
- Reduce or increase the size of the nose
- Change the shape of the tip or backing
- Narrowing the nostrils
- Change the angle between the nose and the upper lip.
- Correcting congenital defects or lesions
- Repair of defects due to trauma
Recommended for
Anyone who wants to modify the shape of their nose. We always perform a medical evaluation consultation with the surgeon to see if you are a candidate.
Even so, the age to recommend surgery is from 18 years of age.
Results
The resulting effects after radiofrequency treatment are twofold, a first instantaneous effect, and a subsequent one, visible over time:
- Tightening effect generated by heat after treatment.
- Long-lasting effect: new collagen fibers are produced after 3 months. Our skin regresses up to 5 years in time, delaying tissue degeneration (spots, wrinkles, texture, flaccidity, etc.).
Difference between rhinoplasty and ultrasonic rhinoplasty
In ultrasonic rhinoplasty, the surgeon uses a piezoelectric scalpel. This is a device that allows the fracture of the bones of the nose in a very precise way, avoiding inflammation of the tissue and surrounding structures.
As a result, the patient has a better recovery, there is much less swelling of the area, and there is less likelihood of bruising. That is why at Clínica Tufet we perform ultrasonic rhinoplasty.
Difference between rhinomodelation and rhinoplasty
Rhinomodeling consists of injecting hyaluronic acid into the nose to correct small defects or imperfections, and give the face a more harmonious appearance. It usually lasts in the body for about two years until the body reabsorbs the product.
A rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure in which the patient modifies the bone and cartilage structure of the nose to achieve a definitive shape. Just as in a rhinoplasty the hyaluronic acid is reabsorbed, in a rhinoplasty, the technique is definitive.
