Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Cosmetic nose surgery at FNKV's plastic surgery department, ranging from soft-tissue tip refinement to full rhinoplasty of the bony and cartilaginous framework. Surgeons here also perform complex post-traumatic and reconstructive nasal surgery — including facial trauma cases through the FNKV trauma centre — so cosmetic patients benefit from an unusually deep structural experience. Full rhinoplasty under general anaesthesia is 45,000 Kč, a fraction of Western European pricing for a teaching-hospital setting.

Rhinoplasty is widely considered the most technically demanding aesthetic facial procedure: millimetre changes to cartilage and bone determine both the cosmetic result and nasal breathing function. Surgeon experience across many noses — including crooked, injured and previously operated ones — is the strongest predictor of a good outcome. **Why a trauma-centre plastic surgery department:** FNKV's department handles facial trauma for one of Prague's major trauma centres and performs reconstructive nasal work alongside cosmetic cases. This means its surgeons routinely operate on complex structural problems (deviated bony pyramids, collapsed valves, post-traumatic deformities), experience that translates directly into safer, more predictable cosmetic rhinoplasty. **Procedure options at FNKV:** - *Soft-tissue rhinoplasty* (30,000 Kč LA / 39,000 Kč GA): reshaping of the nasal tip and cartilaginous structures — appropriate for tip projection or refinement concerns without bony hump or deviation. - *Complete rhinoplasty of soft and bony parts* (43,000 Kč LA / 45,000 Kč GA): the full procedure including hump reduction, osteotomies to narrow or straighten the bony pyramid, and tip work. **Recovery:** An external splint is worn for about a week; bruising around the eyes settles over 10–14 days. The nose is presentable at 2 weeks, though subtle swelling — especially at the tip — resolves gradually over 6–12 months before the final shape is fully visible. **Anaesthesia and stay:** General anaesthesia cases are performed with the hospital's dedicated anaesthesiology team and typically involve a short inpatient stay; above-standard single and twin rooms are available at published nightly rates. Pre-operative blood work and internal examination are arranged in-house.
