Dr. Raghu Athré is one of the top rhinoplasty surgery doctors in the US. This above video explains the the basics of a ultrasonic rhinoplasty procedure.
One of the newest innovations in rhinoplasty is the piezotome or ultrasonic rhinoplasty. Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty has revolutionized the field of rhinoplasty by decreasing bruising, swelling, and blood loss in the procedure. Dr. Raghu Athré is the only rhinoplasty surgeon in the Houston and Texas geographical areas utilizing this technology.
Both types of rhinoplasty, traditional and ultrasonic are offered at Athre Facial Aesthetics. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty becomes more important especially in revision cases and patients with thin skin. Patients who have a thick skin envelope may not see a significant difference between ultrasonic and traditional techniques.
In Dr. Athre’s opinion, ultrasonic rhinoplasty really is the only way to go. He is the only plastic surgeon in Houston that offers the ultrasonic rhinoplasty, and has quickly become one of the busiest ultrasonic rhinoplasty surgeons in the United States.
