Plenty of people who are self-conscious about their noses have considered plastic surgery. However, the pain, swelling, bruising, and significant downtime associated with traditional rhinoplasty techniques can be prohibitive. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, a cutting-edge technique used by Montreal-based cosmetic surgeon Dr. Hani Sinno, dramatically reduces risks and recovery time, making the procedure more feasible for many.
"Imagine da Vinci or Michelangelo chiseling with a mallet and hammer. That's how we used to chisel the nose," Dr. Hani Sinno says. "I did that for the first 10 years of my practice. Then, I discovered the piezo. It carves the bone and doesn't cut soft tissues. It doesn't cut blood vessels, nerves, tissues, anything."
