Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

Precision You Can Feel, Results You Can’t Miss.

Dr. Saman was among the first surgeons in the United States to adopt ultrasonic rhinoplasty, having trained directly with the pioneers of the technique in Europe.

This early and hands-on experience allowed him to refine his approach at the source, learning from those who developed and perfected the technology. While many in the U.S. are still becoming familiar with its capabilities, Dr. Saman has been using it extensively for years. His depth of experience is rare, offering patients not just innovation, but a level of mastery that comes from true immersion.

Why Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?

  1. Precision Bone Sculpting – Uses ultrasonic vibrations to shape the nasal bones with unmatched accuracy, avoiding unnecessary trauma.

  2. Less Bruising and Swelling – The targeted approach spares surrounding soft tissues and blood vessels, leading to a smoother recovery.

  3. No Need to Break the Bones – Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, the bones are gently sculpted rather than fractured, reducing postoperative discomfort.

  4. Improved Safety and Control – Surgeons have greater visibility and control, allowing for more refined and consistent outcomes.

  5. Ideal for Subtle Refinements – Especially effective for delicate adjustments, making it an excellent option for patients seeking elegant, natural-looking results.

Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty FAQ

Learn how ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses precise piezo technology to refine the nasal bridge with less trauma, faster recovery, and natural results. This FAQ covers candidacy, benefits, recovery, safety, function, and how to choose a specialist.

What is ultrasonic rhinoplasty?

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also called piezo rhinoplasty, uses high frequency vibration to sculpt nasal bones with selective precision. The energy acts on bone while sparing nearby soft tissue and cartilage, which helps reduce bruising and swelling and improves comfort during recovery. Learn more about the technique on our dedicated page: Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty in NYC.

How is ultrasonic rhinoplasty different from traditional rhinoplasty?

Traditional rhinoplasty refines bone with manual instruments that can create micro fractures. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses piezoelectric tips to precisely smooth and contour bone while protecting soft tissues. Patients often see smoother dorsum shaping, fewer bony irregularities, and a recovery that feels easier.

Who is a good candidate for ultrasonic rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates want elegant refinement of the bridge, correction of a dorsal hump, or smoothing of asymmetries. During consultation we evaluate nasal anatomy, skin thickness, breathing, and goals to confirm fit for ultrasonic rhinoplasty or other approaches such as preservation rhinoplasty.

What are the benefits of ultrasonic rhinoplasty?
  • Greater precision for bridge shaping and hump reduction
  • Less bruising and swelling for many patients
  • Smoother bony contours with fewer irregularities
  • Comfortable recovery and quick return to daily activities
  • Pairs well with functional correction when needed
How long is recovery after ultrasonic rhinoplasty?

Most patients return to work or school in about one week. Bruising typically clears in 7 to 10 days. Swelling improves steadily over several weeks, with refined definition continuing over 6 to 12 months as tissues settle.

Is ultrasonic rhinoplasty safe?

Yes. When performed by an experienced facial plastic surgeon, the selective action of piezo technology helps minimize collateral tissue trauma. Safety also depends on a complete evaluation, meticulous technique, and an accredited operative setting. Read about our approach to facial plastic surgery.

Can ultrasonic rhinoplasty improve breathing?

It can be combined with functional procedures to address a deviated septum or valve collapse. The goal is harmony in form and function, so many patients see aesthetic refinement along with airway improvement in a single operation.

What does ultrasonic rhinoplasty cost?

Fees vary with case complexity, operating time, facility type, and whether functional work is needed. After a consultation you receive a personalized quote that outlines surgeon, anesthesia, and facility components.

How do I choose the right surgeon?

Prioritize a surgeon who focuses on rhinoplasty, demonstrates consistent outcomes, and offers advanced techniques such as piezo and preservation methods. Review before and after results, confirm board certification, and select a practice that discusses aesthetic goals and breathing with equal care.

“As a surgeon, I’ve seen firsthand how the ultrasonic approach creates far less trauma to the tissues. That means less swelling in the short term, which makes recovery smoother, and more importantly, it sets the stage for better and more stable results in the long term.
