Alejandro Lastra em Bogotá

With a planning process built around specialized computer projections and facial analysis, Alejandro Lastra focuses on achieving a nose shape that looks harmonious and natural—especially in cases described as significantly deviated. At Santa Ana Medical Center — Consultorio 816 in Bogotá, he works as a facial plastic surgeon and ENT specialist, with an emphasis on refined rhinoplasty and nose-breathing outcomes. His rhinoplasty approach is described as outpatient surgery under general anesthesia, with patients returning to normal activities in about 2–3 days. For septal deviations, septoplasty is described as ambulatory and performed without nasal packing, so patients do not need to tolerate nasal plugs.
