Secondary rhinoplasty refers to the second nose surgery performed on a patient.

The technique consists in making small incisions in the internal part of the nose, getting the necessary structures to be reformed to achieve the desired change.

An Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty is an intervention that has become very famous for its excellent results and benefits. In some cases, it is an excellent alternative to traditional nose surgery.

In Ciruplastia you can perform an Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty in a safe and professional way. There are also many other aesthetic interventions that you can perform at the hands of Surgeon Juan Carlos Monroy. Don’t wait any longer and schedule your appointment with us.

It is not appropriate to give you a fixed cost of what ultrasonic rhinoplasty surgery can be worth to you, since all surgeries will depend on the needs that each patient requires and on the results and care they want to have.

That is why the first thing we recommend is that you have an assessment appointment and so, Doctor Monroy can give you an approximate cost of what your treatment can be worth.

The best thing about this intervention is that it does not leave visible scars, since only a small cut that disappears should be made as two months have elapsed after the surgery.

Therefore, it has become an excellent alternative for people who want to make a change in their nose, it is a very beneficial alternative.

The cost of a nose job in Colombia can vary depending on several factors such as the time of the procedure, the difficulty of the case, the complexity of the modifications, the extent of the changes, the experience of the professional as well as the quality or appearance of the result. It all depends on the case of each patient, as well as conducting a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s needs and expectations, which means that the price varies from patient to patient.

If you have already had a rhinoplasty or multiple surgeries in the nasal area, correcting the after-effects of a poorly performed nose job is complex and increases the cost of the procedure. Repairing the damage caused involves extensive surgeries, implanting grafts and multiple interventions. Avoid visiting those “garage clinics” that offer magical results, free consultations, surgical combos, discounts and promotions. These are strategies which do not provide quality results. It is important to keep in mind that the cost also goes hand in hand with the medical professional that although it may raise your budget a little, you’ll be very safe and in good hands.

Colombia in recent years has become one of the countries most chosen by foreign patients, since we meet high quality standards in functional aesthetic operations, such as rhinoplasty. All staff have clear instructions to obtain the greatest transparency in each surgical procedure.

The results can be seen within a week after the intervention, since we have a technology that reduces swelling, reduces bruises and the pain will be quite minimal. Most people manage to see their results and be satisfied in the first weeks even knowing that there is still time for the end result.

In short, rhinoplasty is performed by making an incision in the columella, then gently lift the soft tissues that cover your nose, allowing us to give it a new structure, then part of the cartilage is used to reduce or enlarge the nostrils and finally if the patient has a deviated septum is straightened and the internal protrusions of the nose are reduced to improve breathing. 

Always relying on the best medical team to perform this surgery so that the results are completely satisfactory.

Yes, in fact it will always be essential that the nose is 100% functional, giving the patient the certainty that he/she will obtain an excellent result both aesthetically and functionally. During the surgical intervention an otorhinolaryngologist is present, which gives certainty of the procedure being performed.

It is important that your nose is fully grown, this can happen between 13 to 15 years. For greater security when the patient reaches the age of majority (18 years) could hold a consultation where we will evaluate the case and thus take the best option for the patient.

Patients who undergo rhinoplasty may be able to resume work a few days after surgery but it is important that the patient carries out some restrictions such as avoiding strenuous activities for 2 to 3 weeks, to avoid physical trauma to the nose and sunbathing for 8 weeks, wash your face and apply makeup with care. You should undergo subsequent check-ups to verify the healing process in the following months of the intervention.

Unfortunately, if your results were not satisfactory, it is advisable to wait at least one year, because the scar that forms under the skin after the first rhinoplasty is very thick and this makes the process of giving a new functional structure to your nose more complex.

The technique used to perform a rhinoplasty will be chosen by the professional, since he has the specific knowledge to select along with the patient the best option that will meet the expectations of the functional-aesthetic procedure.

It is a new way of performing a rhinoplasty, is known for correcting nasal deformities both aesthetic and functional, using piezoelectric technology, ensuring that the patient to have a much faster recovery and thus be able to observe satisfactory results in days.

It currently has a high flow of demand because it meets the expectations of patients immediately achieving harmony and facial balance with an easier recovery.

The piezoelectric technology used in rhinoplasty in Colombia is a scalpel which, through ultrasonic vibrations, has the ability to cut and reshape the bone accurately and safely. This device is not likely to injure other tissues such as cartilage, mucosa, muscle or blood vessels. In this way we can perform a rhinoplasty avoiding the risk of injury to surrounding tissues, reducing edema and postoperative hematomas. In addition, the use of postoperative nasal packing is not necessary.

The cost of a rhinoplasty in Colombia can vary and this is due to different factors that are taken into account at the time of making the general budget for the surgery, first it is important that each patient understands the procedure and the level of complexity of each case and with this the achievable expectations to be carried out in order to obtain accurate results.
