Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose for appearance, function or both, performed by plastic surgeon Doc. MUDr. Jan Válka. It can address shape deviations, the after-effects of trauma, congenital irregularities and functional breathing problems, with the technique chosen individually to suit each patient's anatomy. Medica Aesthetica also offers septoplasty for the nasal septum and revision rhinoplasty, and the surgery price includes a structured post-operative home-care package.

Rhinoplasty reshapes the bone and cartilage framework of the nose to change its appearance, improve nasal breathing, or both. At Medica Aesthetica it is performed by plastic surgeon Doc. MUDr. Jan Válka, who has long experience in facial surgical procedures. Surgery is only offered after a detailed plastic-surgery consultation in which the surgeon examines the nose, discusses what is realistically achievable and plans the technique around your individual anatomy — whether the goal is correcting a hump, a deviation, post-trauma deformity, a congenital irregularity, or a blocked airway. The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia. Depending on the case the surgeon may work on the soft tissues alone, on both the hard (bone/cartilage) and soft tissues, or correct the septum (septoplasty) to improve breathing; revision surgery is also offered for patients dissatisfied with a previous result. After surgery the nose is typically supported with a splint and there is swelling and bruising, especially around the eyes, that settles over the following weeks. Most patients take a period of rest and avoid strenuous activity, and the final refined shape continues to emerge gradually over many months as residual swelling resolves. The surgery price includes a post-operative home-care package and follow-up visits; the consultation, anaesthesia, pre-operative blood tests and internal-medicine clearance are charged separately as standard for surgical care. Rhinoplasty suits adults seeking a functional and/or aesthetic change to the nose who are in good general health; the surgeon reviews medical history, expectations and contraindications before agreeing to operate.
