Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty at Klinika Esthé reshapes the nose — removing humps, refining the tip, narrowing the bridge or correcting post-traumatic deformity — using both closed (scarless, from 80,000 Kč for the full nose) and open techniques (from 145,000 Kč) chosen to match the complexity of the case. The team includes an ENT specialist (MUDr. Radim Kaňa, Ph.D.) for functional septoplasty (from 45,500 Kč), so breathing problems and aesthetics can be corrected in one coordinated operation. Surgery is performed in the clinic's own facility in central Prague with overnight hospitalization.

Rhinoplasty is widely considered the most demanding aesthetic operation: millimetre changes alter the whole face, the structure must keep working as an airway, and healing continues for a year. Choosing a clinic with deep specialisation matters more here than anywhere else — Esthé has operated noses since 1997 with a published team of plastic surgeons and an ENT specialist. **Techniques and pricing:** - *Closed (endonasal) rhinoplasty — full nose (soft tissue + bone) from 80,000 Kč:* all incisions inside the nostrils, no external scar, less swelling. Suited to hump reduction, moderate tip work and bridge narrowing. - *Open rhinoplasty — full nose from 145,000 Kč:* a small columellar incision gives full visibility of the nasal framework, preferred for complex tips, revision work and major structural grafting. - *Tip-only (soft nose) surgery:* closed from 58,000 Kč under GA (−8,000 Kč if local anaesthesia suffices); open from 85,000 Kč — for patients whose bony pyramid is fine but the tip is bulbous, drooping or asymmetric. - *Septoplasty — from 45,500 Kč:* straightening a deviated septum for breathing, performed alone or combined with aesthetic rhinoplasty (septorhinoplasty) so function and form are addressed in one anaesthetic. **The pathway:** consultation with the surgeon including profile analysis and airway assessment; pre-operative examination (3,500 Kč); surgery under general anaesthesia; typically one night in the clinic (4,500–5,500 Kč). An external splint protects the nose for about a week; visible bruising under the eyes settles over 10–14 days. **Healing timeline:** presentable at 2 weeks, ~80% of swelling gone by 3 months, final tip definition at 9–12 months. The clinic's individual follow-up plan covers splint removal and staged reviews. **Payment:** not covered by insurance for aesthetic indications; deposit within 14 days of contract, balance on admission.
