Safe Nose Surgery with Ultrasonic Osteotomy at Apgujeong Station Plastic Surgery

Apgujeong Station Plastic Surgery: Safe Nose Surgery with Ultrasonic Osteotomy

One of the essential steps in rhinoplasty for creating a beautiful line is osteotomy.

It is especially effective for narrowing a wide nasal bridge or correcting left-right asymmetry.

However, because osteotomy is a process that deals with bone, skilled technique and delicate handling are essential.

Recently, “ultrasonic osteotomy,” which is drawing attention as a safer and more precise method than conventional techniques, has been getting the spotlight.

Today, we spent time learning more about ultrasonic osteotomy with Director Kim Jae-in.

Q. What is ultrasonic osteotomy?

Hello. I am Director Kim Jae-in of Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic, an Apgujeong Station plastic surgery clinic.

Today, I will explain ultrasonic osteotomy, which many people have recently been interested in.

Ultrasonic osteotomy is, as the name suggests, a procedure that uses ultrasonic energy to cut bone.

It is completely different from the conventional method that uses a hammer and chisel.

Its biggest advantage is that it can selectively and neatly cut only the bone without damaging the surrounding tissues.

For this reason, it has also become a method that has been widely adopted recently.

Q. How does it differ from conventional osteotomy?

Conventional osteotomy was a classic method in which a chisel was placed on the bone and tapped with a hammer to break it.

For surgeons with a lot of experience, it may be possible without damage, but fundamentally it is a method of applying force to break the bone, so

there are limits to precision, and there has always been a risk of damage to the mucosa beneath the nasal bone.

In addition, because a strong direct impact is applied to the bone, the surrounding tissues may also be damaged.

In contrast, ultrasonic osteotomy proceeds using only ultrasonic energy without physical impact,

so bone damage is minimized and there is almost no effect on the surrounding tissues.

That is why clinics that stay ahead of the trend among Apgujeong Station plastic surgery clinics are rapidly adopting this technology.

Q. How does an ultrasonic saw work?

The ultrasonic saw used for ultrasonic osteotomy is not simply a tool that cuts by moving a blade.

It works by the ultrasonic vibrations emitted from the tip of the saw cutting the bone.

The device itself does not directly impact the bone.

Because ultrasonic energy targets only bone tissue and induces osteotomy through vibration,

it is characterized by preserving surrounding structures such as skin, cartilage, and mucosa while

accurately cutting only the bone in the desired area.

For surgeries that require this level of precision, even within Apgujeong Station plastic surgery clinics, you should choose a clinic with a highly skilled medical team.

Q. What are the specific advantages of ultrasonic osteotomy?

The biggest advantages are that it is accurate, clean, and safe.

Precise osteotomy: Selectively cut only the desired area

Protection of surrounding tissues: Almost no damage to the mucosa or tissues

Faster recovery after surgery: Less burden from swelling, bruising, and so on

Natural results: Since there is no unnecessary bone damage, the lines connect smoothly

In particular, when women or people with a wide nose want to reduce the width of the nose,

a thin and delicate osteotomy is needed, and ultrasonic osteotomy plays exactly that role.

For this type of surgery, you should definitely receive treatment at an Apgujeong Station plastic surgery clinic with extensive know-how to minimize side effects.

Q. How is ultrasonic osteotomy used at Globi Plastic Surgery?

Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic, an Apgujeong Station plastic surgery clinic, prioritizes the overall harmony of the nose.

Rather than simply making it higher or bigger,

creating proportions, contours, and natural results is the most important thing.

That is why our clinic actively recommends ultrasonic osteotomy to people with a wide nose bridge, left-right asymmetry,

or concerns about tissue damage.

Ultrasonic osteotomy is already widely used in Europe and the United States.

The reason is that Koreans tend to prefer raising a small nose,

whereas in other countries there is more interest in making a large nose smaller, which requires osteotomy.

Especially these days, in rhinoplasty, line, width, and balance are more important than simple height,

so the demand for osteotomy is increasing, and accordingly, the need for ultrasonic osteotomy is also growing.

However, there are still not many Apgujeong Station plastic surgery clinics that have fully introduced ultrasonic osteotomy.

Globi Plastic Surgery Clinic actively adopts this technology for precise surgery.

When cutting the nasal bone, even greater precision is needed. Rhinoplasty is not simply a surgery that refines the tip of the nose.

Especially when the goal is to reduce the width of the nasal bridge or correct left-right balance, a precise procedure called osteotomy is absolutely necessary.

Ultrasonic osteotomy, which is safer, more accurate, and allows for faster recovery than conventional methods, will become a key technology in the future trend of Apgujeong Station plastic surgery.
