Spain is the preferred destination for medical travel. Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery operations in Spain, and the ultrasonic technique is becoming increasingly popular. And it’s not by chance: permanently exposed in the middle of the face, the nose is a source of complex for many people.

Over the last ten years or so, a new rhinoplasty technique has been developed to better meet patients’ expectations: ultrasonic rhinoplasty.

But what does this operation involve? Who is it intended for? And why is it better to go to Spain to have it done? Let’s take a look at the main points to bear in mind.

What is ultrasonic rhinoplasty?

While traditional rhinoplasty aims to break the bones to reshape the nose, ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a much gentler and more precise technique.

Instead of the traditional hammers, rasps and chisels, miniaturised instruments are used: it is their oscillation at an ultrasonic frequency that smoothes the bone structure of the nose, while maintaining permanent visual control over the surgical site.

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty offers a number of advantages over traditional techniques. For example, it limits bleeding by preserving the tissues around the nose (skin, mucous membrane, blood vessels, etc.).

This method also offers greater precision, as the surgeon can visualise the entire nasal pyramid during the operation. He can also control the fracture line very precisely, to avoid unwanted fractures.

And, of course, all this means that the result is much more pleasing and natural-looking than with the traditional technique, which is why so many people take the plunge every year.

Who can benefit from ultrasonic rhinoplasty?

Like all plastic and aesthetic surgery, ultrasonic rhinoplasty is aimed at people who have a complex about the shape of their nose. This operation can help them to regain their self-confidence and gradually improve the quality of their social relationships.

More specifically, this method is particularly suitable for making changes to the back of the nose, where there is asymmetry or irregularity.

The minimally invasive, non-traumatic nature of this surgical procedure is also useful for treating fragile noses and those with multiple traumas.

Finally, it should be noted that the nose can only be operated on once it has finished growing, i.e. between the ages of 16 and 18. Although smokers can also benefit from this operation, they should refrain from smoking for about a month before the operation, in order to limit post-operative complications.

The procedure for ultrasonic rhinoplasty

Whether you have your operation in Europe or anywhere else in the world, the procedure for an ultrasonic rhinoplasty remains much the same: here are the main stages.

Before the operation: the consultation visit

As with any cosmetic surgery operation, you will begin by meeting the surgeon during an initial consultation. He or she will then carry out a full assessment with you in order to put in place an operation plan tailored to your situation.

During this visit, you can explain to the doctor what you would like to change about your nose, any doubts you may have and ask any questions you may have about the operation.

Your surgeon will then assess the feasibility of your project and guide you towards a solution that will meet your expectations, while taking into account theinitial anatomy of your nose.

This consultation will also provide an opportunity to take stock of your state of health to check that there are no pathologies (particularly respiratory) that would prevent you from undergoing rhinoplasty.

Using image processing software, the surgeon will then carry out a simulation(morphing) to give you an idea of the desired result.

There will then be a minimum of 15 days between this first visit and the operation, giving you time to think about the plan presented by your surgeon.

The operation itself

On the day of the operation, you will need to arrive about two hours beforehand to be placed under general anaesthetic. The surgeon will then mark your nose preoperatively with a sterile felt-tip pen, and inject a serum into your nose to limit bleeding and make the operation painless.

At the start of the operation, the skin envelope will be removed to reveal the bony and cartilaginous structures of your nose. The surgeon will then proceed to reshape the nose: the bones will be sanded, smoothed or polished, depending on the desired results.

At the end of the operation, the skin envelope will be closed with very fine sutures, then a support splint will be placed on the back of your nose, with or without wicks in the nostrils. Depending on the procedures performed by the surgeon, the operation lasts between 1? and 3 hours.

Post-operative follow-up

Following an ultrasonic rhinoplasty operation, you will remain under observation for a few hours before being able to go home. However, it is often advisable to spend the night at the clinic so that you can recover in the best possible conditions.

You will then have to keep the splint on for 7 to 10 days, before it is removed by the surgeon. The strands are removed a few hours after the operation.

To avoid slowing down the healing process, do not attempt to remove the scabs from the incisions in the mucosa: they will disappear spontaneously within a few weeks. You should also avoid sporting activities and spas for the first month after the operation.

How much does ultrasonic rhinoplasty cost in Spain?

The average cost of an ultrasonic rhinoplasty in Madrid or Barcelona is €4,000. This price includes the cost of hospitalisation, the surgeon, pre-operative examinations, the splint, medication and post-operative follow-up.
