Many patients are candidates for Harmony™, Dr. Passaretti's unique minimally invasive ultrasonic rhinoplasty procedure. Rhinoplasty should be about creating harmony. Your nose should be a perfectly harmonious part of the face, blending with and adding beauty to the lips and eyes.

Not drawing attention because it is either overly prominent or fake and operated looking.

He can also use this procedure to correct a deviated septum and improve your breathing.

Dr. Passaretti will determine which type is right for you during a consultation. To schedule your initial appointment, contact our office today.

Harmonious, Natural-Looking Results

Rhinoplasty is a procedure done on the nose to change the angle and/or width of the nose to provide the patient with a more balanced or appealing look.

A Top Plastic Surgeon

WHO OFFERS MINIMALLY INVASIVE ULTRASONIC RHINOPLASTY

Fairfield County Rhinoplasty provider, Dr. David Passaretti developed his state-of-the-art technique combining twenty years of experience and the latest technological advances. He is one of a select few plastic surgeons in Darien, CT, and all of Connecticut who offers minimally invasive scarless rhinoplasty using the latest harmonic piezoelectric technology. Traditional open rhinoplasty, the kind most surgeons still use, is performed with incisions in the skin and osteotomes—surgical chisels and hammers that allow plastic surgeons to modify bone tissue.

These techniques, which have not changed in over fifty years, are effective but lead to large amounts of swelling and long recovery times. The additional scarring from skin incisions and the poor control provided by blunt chisels can lead to an all too common operated-on or overdone look. But with Harmony™, the minimally invasive ultrasonic rhinoplasty (also known as microrhinoplasty), Dr. Passaretti uses much smaller ultrasonic tools to perform microrhinoplasty surgery. These piezoelectric tools use harmonic vibrations to precisely alter the bone and cartilage in your nose without harming surrounding tissue. He performs these techniques through tiny incisions located entirely inside your nose. This means no visible scarring, less recovery, faster healing, and a more natural harmonious look.

3 Benefits

OF THIS MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNIQUE

Precision

Tiny harmonic ultrasound tools allow for unparalleled precision and far greater control when performing osteotomies, so your rhinoplasty results can be much smoother and natural-looking.

Preservation of Healthy Tissue

Microrhinoplasty also minimizes injury to surrounding soft tissues and avoids all skin incisions, resulting in far less bruising and swelling than older rhinoplasty techniques.

Faster Recovery

Because ultrasonic saws result in less trauma to your tissue, you can enjoy faster bone healing, less pain, and a faster recovery after your nose job.

Determining Your Candidacy

If you are dissatisfied with the shape or size of your nose, you are likely a good candidate for rhinoplasty at our Connecticut plastic surgery practice. To be considered for this treatment, you should be in good physical health with specific yet realistic goals for your treatment. Rhinoplasty is only suitable for adults, and teenagers should wait until they have finished growing before they consider a nose job.

Open vs. Closed Surgery

There are two different rhinoplasty techniques: open and closed. While both can achieve similar results, and Connecticut Rhinoplasty provider, Dr. Passaretti's final recommendation will ultimately depend on your aesthetic goals and the natural shape of your nose, the closed rhinoplasty technique offers distinct advantages due to the minimal disruption of normal tissue. During closed rhinoplasty, he will create tiny incisions inside your nostrils. In open rhinoplasty, he will place the incision across the columella, the strip of tissue that separates the nostrils.

Technique Personalized to Your Needs

Although, Harmony™, the ultrasonic closed rhinoplasty is a more complex procedure, Fairfield County rhinoplasty surgeon, Dr. Passaretti typically prefers this option since it eliminates visible scarring. However, since open rhinoplasty allows him to easily access more tissue, he may recommend this procedure if you require more extensive correction.

The Rhinoplasty Procedure

Before performing either procedure in our Fairfield County private surgical suite, Dr. Passaretti will supply general or intravenous (IV) sedation. After he has created the incisions, he will alter cartilage and bone to improve the shape of your nose. Typically, he will remove material to reduce the size of your nose, but he can also perform a tissue graft to enhance its definition.

He may also straighten your septum to improve your breathing. Lastly, Dr. Passaretti will drape the skin over the new contours of your nose and carefully close the incisions. Closed rhinoplasty avoids any incisions in the skin

“I had a revision rhinoplasty from another unfortunate injury. He did exactly what I communicated with him to do and what was doable yet created a wonderful result, without risking anything from previous surgeries from another surgeon. I took the travel time from Massachusetts as I know he is the best in the business, an artist. He has a wonderful compassionate personality and wants his patients at ease. Not only is his work impeccable. But he has a kind and compassionate demeanor the makings of an all around wonderful surgeon. These surgeons are very busy and deal with a lot of. Yet he maintains such professionalism and compassion. I needed an altercation due to another injury . The doctor and his staff were amazingly professional and kind. I felt so at ease. I never felt so comfortable in my whole life with a surgeon. He is the man. He is just so skilled, again, an artist. My surgery was done again due to an accident not by choice. A true accidental accident by someone, a freak occurrence. They felt horrible but I was in the best of hands with Dr. Passaretti.”

“My surgery was laid out and followed just as was explained to me. After the surgery Dr P's team called and made sure you were recovering as planned. I couldn't be more happy with my Rhinoplasty results. Dr Passeretti truly had hands from God. I have NO problem referring anyone I know with full confidence to him.

“Some may call it surgery, I call it art. Dr. Passaretti transformed my nose into a natural, straight, humpless facial feature. In addition to rhinoplasty I also underwent neck liposuction, both surgeries were done at the same time and the recovery for both were near painless- aside from Tylenol, no pain medications were used.”
