About the clinic

Non-surgical nose correction with hyaluronic acid is offered at Face & Nose Institute / Body Institute in Bogotá, Colombia. Treatment is led by Dr. Nicolás Heredia Combariza, a facial plastic surgeon with 25+ years of experience.

Dr. Nicolás Heredia Combariza is certified by the International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies. He is also president of the Colombian Society of Facial Plastic Surgery and Rhinology. The clinic is a member of ASPS and ISAPS and serves as an academic fellowship center for facial plastic surgery.

Three-layer filler treatment

This non-surgical rhinoplasty uses hyaluronic acid made for the nose. Topical 5% lidocaine cream numbs the area; general anesthesia is not used. The clinician places filler in three layers, using different textures and tools for support and shaping. A cryogenic roller and polarized light are used for final molding.

The treatment may suit people with nasal asymmetry, a slight deviation, a small hump, limited tip projection, or an angle they want refined. It does not involve surgery, incisions, or sutures. Mild cases may have a different option, but this page covers filler correction.

Consultation, session, and recovery

A 30–45-minute assessment includes 3D facial analysis to simulate possible results. The injection session takes about 15–20 minutes. Changes may be visible immediately, though results vary by person.

Filler effects may last around 6–18 months, depending on the product and individual metabolism. Hyaluronidase can dissolve the filler if adjustment or reversal is needed. Most patients return to their usual routine within 1–3 days, with no planned downtime.

Temporary swelling, redness, sensitivity, or small bruises may occur and usually fade within days. For 24 hours, patients should avoid touching or massaging the nose. They should also avoid glasses that press on the bridge, sleep on their backs with heads raised, and use high-SPF sunscreen from day three. For one week, aftercare includes avoiding saunas, pools, Turkish baths, long flights, and direct sun.

Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss whether this treatment fits their needs.

Face & Nose Institute / Body Institute: more details about the clinic

Colombia, Bogota

Body Institute is a private plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine clinic in Bogotá. Established in 2023, the facility is led by Dr. Nicolás Heredia. The clinic operates from a single building designed for high-end surgical care and patient comfort.

Academic Leadership and Accreditations

Dr. Nicolás Heredia leads the medical team with over 25 years of experience. He is certified by the IFFPSS as a facial plastic surgeon. Dr. Heredia also serves as President of the Colombian Society of Facial Plastic Surgery and Rhinology.

The institute is an academic center for international surgeons. It runs an Annual International Fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery. This program is supported by several institutions:

Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali
Imbanaco Clinic
ASCOFAMECOL

The clinic holds memberships in international scientific societies, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

Facial Plastic Surgery Specialties

The clinic focuses on structural rhinoplasty to improve both appearance and breathing. Surgeons create personalized plans to correct septal deviations or adjust nasal shape. The department performs several surgical variants:

Open rhinoplasty for full access to the nasal structure
Closed rhinoplasty for corrections through the nostrils without visible scars
Ultrasound rhinoplasty using the Piezo device for precise bone adjustments

Nasal recovery follows a structured pathway. Patients wear a nasal splint for about 7–10 days. Swelling typically resolves over four weeks.

Beyond nasal surgery, the clinic provides facial contouring and rejuvenation. Mentoplasty corrects chin prominence, often combined with buccal fat removal for better definition. Blepharoplasty addresses eyelid aging based on individual facial anatomy.

Aesthetic Medicine and Non-Surgical Care

The Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine service offers alternatives to surgery. Dr. Carolina Morales and Dr. Valentina Pérez lead clinical and surgical dermatology. Dr. Lina Caicedo focuses on facial aesthetic medicine. Key non-surgical treatments include:

Rhinomodeling with hyaluronic acid fillers to reshape the nose
Liftera HIFU focused ultrasound to improve skin firmness
Radiesse injections to stimulate collagen in the cheeks and jawline
Botox for wrinkle relaxation, bruxism, and excessive sweating

Injectable sessions typically last 30 minutes. Most patients return to daily routines the same day. For Liftera, clinicians determine the number of sessions after evaluating the first application's response.

Clinical Facilities and Technology

The institute has six modern operating rooms with strict sterilization protocols. For diagnostic and aesthetic treatments, the clinic uses specialized platforms:

MT1 Laser for treating pigmentation and skin spots
Tattoo Reset light pulses for non-surgical tattoo lightening
Liftera focused ultrasound for non-invasive tissue lifting

The facility includes 12 private Premium Recovery Units. These spaces allow patients and companions to rest after surgery. Each unit provides 24/7 safety monitoring and access to an in-house pharmacy.

Services for International Patients

The clinic provides dedicated support for those traveling to Bogotá. Patient coordinators offer assistance in English, Spanish, and French. Staff help with the logistics of the medical journey:

Airport pickup and transfers
Flight ticket reservations
Hotel and lodging arrangements

A multidisciplinary medical team monitors patients throughout the surgical stay. This includes anesthesiologists and specialized nurses available during the entire recovery phase.

They operated on me a couple of days ago and the service was spectacular—from the security guard, to the receptionist, to the doctors, everyone was very kind and very empathetic. I was very nervous about my surgery and they helped me calm down. They were always attentive, especially head Jessica, who was with me that day on the 4th floor—a woman with unmatched human qualities. The anesthesiologist, the instrument technician, and the nurses were also super sweet to me before and after the surgery! They made the anesthesia process feel calm, and my recovery was so quick that I could leave fast. I felt incredibly well taken care of. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰

I had surgery and everything went well with it, but I do have to admit the terrible service this place has. The moment I arrived, a girl attended to me with a very bad attitude. I had an appointment at 5pm with an anesthesiologist and I arrived 10 minutes before 5pm. The girl looked at me as if I really didn’t have any appointment. I gave her my documents, I got registered by filling out a form, and then she made me pay for the consultation, about $180,000 pesos. Then she tells me to wait for the doctor to see me, and after 5 minutes she tells me there’s no anesthesiologist available… It felt disrespectful to charge me for something I never received, which was the doctor’s attention. And there was also the terrible customer service she showed from the time I arrived. I had just come from a long flight, exhausted, and for them to cancel without even warning you beforehand seems terrible. You’re not going to a store to buy a piece of candy—you’re going for something very important to you, and it’s also expensive. They need to improve their service because it’s obvious that whoever they hire in this place doesn’t even receive proper customer service training.
