This treatment can solve many aesthetic problems and change the proportions of the whole face.

Sometimes patients want to know what piezo rhinoplasty is. In plastic surgery, the inverse piezoelectric effect is used, in which a mechanical impact on the bone tissue is produced under the influence of an electric field.

This effect is used for osteotomy, i.e., bone dissection followed by osteoplasty. In this case, the specialist uses mechanical instruments, including saws, chisels, hammers, and rasps. All these tools require high sensitivity of the surgeon’s hands to provide the necessary depth of the incision and the desired surgical effect.
