Santa Ana Medical Center is a private surgical practice in Bogotá, Colombia. It specializes in facial plastic surgery and otorhinolaryngology for adults and children. Dr. Alejandro Lastra founded the practice in 2019. He previously served on the board of the Colombian Society of Facial Plastic Surgery. The clinic also treats children for adenoid and respiratory issues.
A key focus is minimally invasive rhinoplasty using a closed technique. Many patients can breathe right away without nasal packing. Other core procedures include eyelid surgery, otoplasty, and facial lifting. Mentoplasty and bichectomy use intraoral incisions to avoid external scars. Endoscopic sinus surgery is available for chronic sinusitis.
Dr. Lastra earned his medical degree from the National University of Colombia in 2004. He trained at major institutions like the National Cancer Institute. The practice offers computer projections for surgery planning. Most international patients come from Dubai and France.
