Who is a candidate for rhinoplasty?
Preoperative assessment determines viability and correct technique. Not all cases require the same approach.
Aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty in Bogotá performed by certified plastic surgeons. Piezoelectric ultrasonic technique for natural results, more predictable recovery and greater precision in every case.

If you've been avoiding certain photos for a while, choosing angles, or thinking too much about how people see you from the side, that's not vanity. It's a sign that something bothers you enough to affect how you move through the world.
Rhinoplasty in Bogotá doesn't transform your identity — it refines it. The goal isn't to look like anyone else: it's that your nose harmonizes with the rest of your features in a way that feels natural to you. At ALMO Clinic, we work with piezoelectric ultrasonic technique for greater precision and give you a more predictable recovery.
Many patients arrive thinking that reducing the hump is enough. Sometimes it is. Other times, a dorsum hump coexists with a drooping tip, wide tip, or chin that doesn't balance the profile — and if only one thing is addressed, the result still doesn't look harmonious.
Our preoperative assessment analyzes the whole: profile, frontal view, nasolabial angle, tip, and relationship with the chin. We don't plan isolated corrections; we plan a nose that fits with your face.
"The patient who arrives requesting 'remove the bump' rarely understands at first that the nose is a whole. When we show them the complete profile analysis, the conversation changes. The result they seek almost always requires more than one gesture." — Dr. Óscar Barón, Certified Plastic Surgeon SCCP.I want profile evaluation

Understanding the real limits of the procedure is part of planning. There are no miraculous results — there are possible corrections according to your anatomy.
| Correction | Rhinoplasty can achieve | Real limit |
|---|---|---|
| Dorsum hump | Yes — straight or slightly concave profile | Skin thickness over the dorsum conditions the visible result |
| Nasal tip | Yes — refinement, elevation, width correction | Thicker skins limit tip visual definition |
| Nose size | Yes — proportional reduction to face | Cannot be reduced beyond what nasal skeleton allows |
| Asymmetry | Yes — correction of visible deviations from front | Slight residual asymmetries are normal in any nose |
| Breathing function | Yes — when there is deviated septum or compromised valve | If problem is functional only without aesthetic component, it's septoplasty |
At ALMO, each rhinoplasty is planned millimeter by millimeter according to each patient's anatomy. These are the technical factors that determine result precision:
The piezoelectric instrument emits high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations that selectively cut the nasal bone without affecting surrounding blood vessels and soft tissues. The result is less intraoperative bleeding and greater millimeter precision in each osteotomy.
With the conventional technique (chisel and hammer), mechanical impact transmits force to surrounding soft tissues. Piezoelectric eliminates that trauma in cases with complex bone work: less pronounced periorbital hematomas and more controlled swelling from the first day.
Less soft tissue trauma makes postoperative evolution more uniform. The patient can plan their return to social activity with greater certainty in recovery times.

Preoperative assessment determines viability and correct technique. Not all cases require the same approach.
Dorsum hump, wide or drooping tip, nose large in relation to face, visible asymmetry, or nose that doesn't harmonize with other facial features. The patient must have complete facial development (from 17-18 years in women, 18-19 in men).
Chronic difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils, especially if worsened after trauma. Functional correction (septum, valve) is integrated into the aesthetic procedure in a single surgical time.
The possible result depends on skin thickness, nasal skeleton structure, and relationship with the rest of the face. A patient with realistic expectations has more chances of being satisfied than one seeking someone else's nose.
In the evaluation consultation, the surgeon analyzes your nasal anatomy, defines what corrections are possible, and explains exactly what to expect from the result.
