María Isabel Acosta

With more than 2,600 rhinoplasties performed over 23+ years, María Isabel Acosta has built her practice around one idea: nasal and facial changes should look natural and feel functional. As a specialist at clinic Mía in Medellín, she works at the intersection of ENT and facial plastic surgery, guiding patients through both aesthetic refinement and breathing-focused planning. Her clinic also supports international patients with a private video consultation, followed by an in-person assessment before surgery. Alongside surgical options, she offers Ultherapy Prime for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
