Dr. Ruber Almanza

Dr. Ruber Almanza is a private plastic surgery practice established in 2016 in Bogotá, Colombia. The center focuses on facial plastic surgery and aesthetic reconstruction. Dr. Ruber Almanza heads the clinic and brings more than 10 years of experience.

Key Facts and Professional Credentials

The clinic has treated over 2,000 patients since its founding. Dr. Ruber Almanza is board-certified and earned his degree from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. He holds memberships in two major medical organizations:

• Full member of the Colombian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (SCCP)
• International member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

All surgical procedures take place in certified operating rooms.

Facial Plastic Surgery and Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a primary focus, covering both aesthetic and functional nasal corrections. Dr. Almanza uses structural approaches for long-term stability and proper function. For complex cases with severe septal deviations, he performs extracorporeal septoplasty. This technique reconstructs the nasal septum outside the body before precise repositioning.

The clinic provides several specialized nasal procedures:

• Primary and secondary (revision) rhinoplasty
• Correction of prominent nasal dorsal humps
• Refinement of bulbous or downward-pointing nasal tips
• Nasal reconstruction using costal (rib) cartilage support
• Ultrasonic rhinoplasty for precise bone shaping

Patients follow a structured pathway with long-term monitoring. Postoperative progress is typically documented from 8 days to one year after surgery.

Facial Rejuvenation and Ear Correction

The clinic offers otoplasty to correct prominent or asymmetrical ears. This procedure aims for natural-looking results while refining ear shape and lobes. For age-related improvements, the clinic performs various lifting procedures. These surgeries typically require one night of hospitalization and 12 to 20 days of recovery.

Available facial rejuvenation methods include:

• Deep plane facelifts for significant tissue repositioning
• Middle plane lifting to address the cheeks and mid-face
• Forehead lifts to smooth the brow area
• Cervicoplastia (neck lift) for improved jawline definition
• Cantopexia to refine the outer corners of the eyes

These facial procedures take 5 to 8 hours in the operating room.

Surgical Technology and 3D Modeling

The practice uses 3D visualization during consultations. Dr. Almanza works with the VectraH2 3D modeling system to create a digital preview of the face. This lets patients see projected nasal and facial changes before surgery. During rhinoplasty, an ultrasonic scalpel may reduce trauma to surrounding tissues.

For postoperative care, the clinic offers optional Indiba radiofrequency treatments. This technology helps manage swelling and supports healing after facial surgery.

International Patient Services

The practice provides specialized support for patients traveling from abroad. Remote pre-operative assessments are available through video calls and photo-based evaluations. All professional communications at the clinic are in Spanish, so international patients should plan for translation needs before visiting Bogotá.
