Rhinoplasty at Brandeis Clinic reshapes the nose — reducing a dorsal hump, refining the tip, correcting asymmetry, or adjusting overall proportions — through either open or closed surgical technique. MUDr. Lucie Kalinová performs rhinoplasty under general anaesthesia. The procedure is highly individual: the surgical plan is developed at consultation by analysing the nasal anatomy in relation to the broader facial structure, with the goal of producing a natural result proportional to the patient's face rather than a template outcome. Recovery involves nasal splinting for approximately 1 week, with swelling resolving gradually over 6–12 months to the final shape.
About this treatment
Rhinoplasty — surgical reshaping of the nose — is one of the most technically demanding procedures in plastic surgery because of the nose's structural complexity, central facial position, and the precision required to achieve a natural-looking result at the correct proportional scale for the individual face.
Surgical approaches
Closed (endonasal) rhinoplasty: All incisions are placed inside the nostrils. This approach leaves no external scars and has a shorter recovery (less swelling, faster resolution) but provides limited exposure for complex structural work. It is appropriate for patients requiring limited tip refinement or modest dorsal reduction where the internal anatomy is accessible.

Who is this for?
Adults seeking reduction of a dorsal hump, tip refinement, asymmetry correction, or proportional nasal reshaping; also revision rhinoplasty after unsatisfactory prior surgery
Preparation required
Inform the surgeon at consultation of any previous nasal surgery, nasal trauma, or breathing difficulties. Complete the standard pre-operative examination. Avoid aspirin and NSAIDs for the period specified before surgery. Plan for 10–14 days off work (bruising resolution) and 3 months before contact sport.
