With ultrasonic rhinoplasty, the goal is not only a new nose shape, but also a more functional breathing outcome—an approach built around precision technology and structured recovery support. At the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Center of Dr. Ricardo González, Ricardo González performs both primary rhinoplasty and reconstructive rhinoplasty, including cases where restoring respiratory function is important. The clinic’s process emphasizes high-precision planning and careful tissue handling, supported by ultrasonic and laser equipment. To help patients stay on track after surgery, follow-up visits are scheduled frequently during the first 4 weeks. His consultations are designed to align expectations with what can realistically be achieved, using facial analysis and a hand-drawn surgical planning guide. Patients are also guided through the entire journey—from the initial consultation to recovery—so they understand each step as it unfolds. Along with rhinoplasty, the clinic also describes additional aesthetic procedures such as mentoplasty, bichectomy, and liposuction of the submental area.

Clinical focus and techniques

Ricardo González’s clinical work focuses on ultrasonic rhinoplasty, with separate pathways for primary aesthetic correction and reconstructive cases that also target breathing function.

• Ultrasonic rhinoplasty — used to sculpt the nose while avoiding damage to surrounding tissues.
• Primary rhinoplasty — correction of the nose’s shape and size using an ultrasonic approach.
• Reconstructive rhinoplasty — correction of acquired nasal deformities, with an emphasis on restoring respiratory function.
• Ultrasonic and laser technology — described as supporting greater precision and a shorter recovery time.
• Open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty — performed as part of rhinoplasty options.
• Revision rhinoplasty — available for re-intervention cases.
• Mentoplasty — described as part of facial aesthetic combinations.
• Bichectomy — described as part of facial aesthetic combinations.
• Liposuction of the submental area (lipopapada) — described as part of facial aesthetic combinations.
