He also states membership of the Colombian otorhinolaryngology association (ACORL) and the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. His website describes more than 30 years in practice and a particular interest in push-down rhinoplasty, a technique intended to limit trauma to the nasal dorsum and preserve nasal structures.
IQ InterQuirófanos opened in 2006. It states that it has 13 operating rooms, recovery areas with 14 stretchers in Torre Intermédica and 12 in Torre Medical, hospitalisation rooms connected to a central monitoring station, a sterilisation unit and an in-house pharmacy service (IQ Pharma).

As the clinic lists them. The clinic confirms what suits you after assessment.
Surgery on a nose that has already been operated on, to correct the dorsum, tip, size or nasal function. His website recommends waiting at least one year after the previous operation.
A preservation technique in which the nasal dorsum is lowered rather than removed, intended to limit trauma to the dorsum and keep nasal structures intact. His website describes it as particularly useful for large dorsal humps.
Surgery to reshape the nose and improve nasal breathing, addressing the dorsum, tip, width and proportion to the face as well as problems such as nasal obstruction. His website describes closed approaches through the nostrils and open approaches through a small W-shaped incision on the columella, usually under general anaesthesia.
Surgery to straighten a nose that is deviated or flattened, often after trauma; his website notes that such deviations frequently also cause breathing problems.
Techniques for noses with thicker skin, including raising the dorsum, narrowing the nasal bones and base, adding paranasal and premaxillary volume and supporting the tip. His website notes that the final shape in thick skin can take 8 to 12 months to settle.
Correction of a wide, drooping or poorly defined tip, columella and naso-labial angle problems, and narrowing of a wide nasal base by trimming the alar base to improve nostril symmetry.
Surgical reshaping of the bulbous, reddened nasal skin caused by sebaceous gland overgrowth in rhinophyma, a form of rosacea that in advanced cases can also obstruct breathing.
