Rhinoplasty
in Medellín
Rhinoplasty aims to stop the nose from being the feature that dominates the face, integrating it with the rest of your features instead. There is no universal ideal nose: the right proportion depends on forehead height, chin projection and each person’s bone structure.
Dr. Arango plans every rhinoplasty from a complete facial analysis and an assessment of breathing function. When there is a deviated septum or difficulty breathing, the functional correction is performed during the same procedure.
Who is a good candidate
- You have completed facial growth (generally from age 17 – 18).
- You are bothered by the shape, size or deviation of your nose.
- You have breathing difficulty due to a deviated septum.
- You are in good general health and do not smoke, or can stop smoking.
- You have realistic expectations about the change that can be achieved.
