Rhinoplasty: The Closed Method and the Piezo Innovation

Rhinoplasty is one of the most complex and customizable surgical procedures, aimed at improving the appearance and functionality of the nose. Among the various techniques available, the closed method represents a less invasive approach, but today we can explore an innovation that has captured the interest of many specialists: the “piezo method” in rhinoplasty.


What is the Closed Method in Rhinoplasty?

Closed rhinoplasty, unlike the open technique, is performed through small incisions inside the nostrils. This approach has the advantage of leaving no externally visible scars and often involves less invasiveness and a faster recovery time. The surgeon works with precision thanks to limited visibility, using specialized tools and an in-depth knowledge of nasal anatomy.


The Innovation of the Piezo Method

The term “piezo” refers to the use of piezoelectric instruments during rhinoplasty. Piezosurgery is a technique that uses high-frequency vibrations to cut bone in a precise and controlled manner. This technology is particularly advantageous in the closed method of rhinoplasty for several reasons:

  1. Precision: Piezoelectric allows for very precise cuts, reducing the risk of damage to the surrounding soft tissue and improving control when removing or shaping the nasal bone.
  2. Less Trauma: Compared to traditional instruments, piezo reduces trauma to the surrounding tissue, leading to less post-operative bruising and swelling.
  3. Accelerated Recovery: Thanks to the reduction in trauma, patients experience a faster recovery and a quicker return to normal daily activities.
  4. Better Results: Greater precision allows for more harmonious and natural aesthetic results, as the surgeon can shape the nasal bone with greater accuracy.


Conclusions
The closed method in rhinoplasty, enhanced by the use of piezoelectric technology, represents a significant step forward in nasal aesthetic surgery. This combination offers significant advantages in terms of precision, reduction of trauma and improved recovery times. If you are considering rhinoplasty and want a minimally invasive approach with advanced technologies, the closed piezo method may be an excellent choice to discuss with your surgeon.
