Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty, also known as piezo surgery, is a modern nose surgery technique that uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to reshape nasal bones. Unlike traditional methods with chisels and hammers, piezo technology only targets bone tissue while protecting blood vessels, nerves, and soft tissues. This results in less swelling, minimal bruising, and faster recovery. With over 15 years of experience and 3,000+ successful rhinoplasty surgeries, Op. Dr. Ali Cihan Yiğiter is one of the most trusted surgeons in Antalya, Turkey, for international patients from the UK and Europe.
