Dr. Shbair, how popular has rhinoplasty become among people seeking the services of plastic surgeons? What is the reason for its popularity?
It has become extremely popular. The main reason is that rhinoplasty is now more accessible. In the past, only very wealthy people could afford this procedure, and there were relatively few truly qualified specialists in this field.
Modern equipment has also appeared in recent years. Previously, surgeons worked with hammers and other instruments that could be described as primitive. As a result, patients experienced prolonged postoperative swelling and bruising, as well as pain and loosening of the teeth.
Today, ultrasonic rhinoplasty is performed using a piezo device, which allows the surgeon to work exclusively on the bone without damaging the skin. It can be said that the risk of serious complications has decreased by 90%.
