Daniel Rivera, Plastic surgeon

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is delivered with a protocol designed to reduce post-operative inflammation, paired with post-operative medications and surgical-associated costs (with complication insurance arranged directly with the operating room). Daniel Rivera is a specialist at Dr. Daniel Rivera — Cirujano Plástico en Medellín y Rionegro, where facial plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine are offered across Medellín and Rionegro. Patients can be seen in Medellín at Edificio Access Point and in Rionegro at clinic Llanogrande, with an additional “Tourism and Health” program for international visitors and medical accompaniment from the first contact. For non-surgical skin goals, the clinic uses CO2 laser rejuvenation for facial revitalization and scar management without entering an operating room.
