Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty in Newport Beach, CA
Refining Nasal Contours with Ultrasonic Precision
Modern rhinoplasty has entered a new era, one defined by precision, control, and artistry. Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty represents this evolution, allowing surgeons to reshape nasal structures using sound wave energy rather than traditional manual tools. The result is a smoother, more natural contour with significantly less swelling, bruising, and downtime.
At her Newport Beach practice, Dr. Shabnam Ghazizadeh, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, specializes in this advanced technique to deliver refined, balanced outcomes that enhance the natural harmony of each patient’s features.
What Is Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?
Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty uses ultrasonic vibrations to sculpt nasal bones with remarkable accuracy. Unlike conventional tools that rely on chiseling or filing, the Piezo device targets only bone tissue, leaving nearby cartilage, soft tissue, and blood vessels largely untouched.
This selective precision gives Dr. Ghazizadeh the ability to refine nasal shape with a gentler approach, offering patients smoother results, reduced trauma, and a more comfortable recovery process.
How Piezo Ultrasonic Technology Works
During surgery, a specialized Piezo device emits ultrasonic micro-vibrations that delicately reshape the nasal framework. This level of control allows Dr. Ghazizadeh to:
- Smooth dorsal humps or bridge irregularities
- Preserve delicate surrounding tissues to minimize bruising and swelling
- Create refined, symmetrical bone contours that complement facial balance
By combining advanced technology with her artistic eye, Dr. Ghazizadeh achieves natural, elegant transformations with less postoperative discomfort and faster healing.

The Procedure
On the day of surgery, anesthesia is administered for your comfort and safety.

This allows Dr. Ghazizadeh to make controlled adjustments without damaging surrounding soft tissues or blood vessels.

Recovery
Recovery following Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty is generally quicker and more comfortable than with conventional methods. Most patients experience mild swelling or tightness for the first few days, which gradually improves within the first week.

As the healing process continues, nasal definition refines over several months, revealing natural, balanced, and elegant results.
