What is Closed Preservation Rhinoplasty?

 

Closed Preservation Rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive technique designed to reshape the nose without leaving visible scars. By making incisions entirely inside the nostrils, the surgeon can reshape the nasal structures to remove or reduce bumps, refine the tip, or enhance overall facial harmony. This minimally invasive rhinoplasty technique allows for precise control while preserving the natural structure of the nose.

​

Dr. Soler-Baillo customizes each rhinoplasty procedure to ensure that the results are unique to each patient. Closed rhinoplasty helps achieve a more natural look compared to other methods, ensuring the nose complements the rest of your facial features.

What is the Piezo Ultrasonic Device?

 

The Piezo Ultrasonic Device is a state-of-the-art tool used in Piezo Ultrasonic Closed Preservation Rhinoplasty to sculpt the nasal bones with precision. Unlike traditional mechanical instruments, the Piezo device uses ultrasonic vibrations to shape the bones, ensuring minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, reducing swelling, and accelerating recovery.

Benefits of the Piezo Ultrasonic Device for rhinoplasty include:

​

• Precision Bone Reshaping: The ultrasonic device allows for controlled bone reshaping, minimizing overcorrection and achieving more refined results.
   

• Faster Recovery: Since there’s less trauma to the surrounding tissues, swelling and bruising are reduced, leading to a quicker recovery.
   

• Subtle, Natural Results: The precision of the Piezo device ensures a natural appearance that complements your facial features, avoiding an overdone look.
   

• Increased Safety: The device helps minimize the risk of complications by reducing unnecessary bone fractures and preserving surrounding structures.

​

What is Open Rhinoplasty?

 

Open Rhinoplasty is a widely used technique in rhinoplasty surgery. It involves making an incision across the columella (the skin between the nostrils) to expose the underlying bone and cartilage. This method allows for complete access to the nasal structures, making it easier to reshape and restructure the nose.

While open rhinoplasty provides more control and is typically used for significant reshaping or correction, it often results in visible scarring. Additionally, the recovery process tends to take longer compared to closed rhinoplasty, with more tissue disruption and swelling.

 

What is Revision Rhinoplasty?

 

Revision Rhinoplasty is a specialized procedure for patients who are dissatisfied with the results of a previous rhinoplasty surgery. Whether due to aesthetic or functional concerns, Dr. Soler-Baillo uses Minimally Invasive Closed Preservation Rhinoplasty to help some "botched" rhinoplasty patients achieve their desired goals, providing a natural, refined nose while addressing any functional issues caused by the first procedure.

​

While closed rhinoplasty can be used in revision cases, it is more complex and offers fewer options than open rhinoplasty, which allows for greater flexibility in reshaping the nose. Revision rhinoplasty can be challenging, but Dr. Soler-Baillo's experience with minimally invasive techniques ensures that patients receive optimal results with minimal scarring.

​

Why Choose Closed Preservation Rhinoplasty?

​​

• Natural-Looking Results: The closed technique preserves the natural nasal structures, providing subtle and harmonious refinements to your nose.
   

• No Visible Scarring: All incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no external scars or visible signs of surgery.
   

• Tailored Approach: Every rhinoplasty procedure is customized to your unique facial features, ensuring that the results look natural and complementary.
   

• Faster Recovery Time: With less disruption to the tissues, recovery is quicker compared to traditional open rhinoplasty.
