About

Ústav estetické medicíny (Institute of Aesthetic Medicine, UEM) is one of Prague's longest-established private plastic surgery clinics, operating since 2002 from a quiet site inside the historic Emauzy monastery complex at Vyšehradská 49, Prague 2, with a second facility at Vila Orplid in Karlovy Vary. The institute focuses on the core canon of aesthetic surgery — upper and lower eyelid surgery, SMAS facelift and mini facelift, complete rhinoplasty, breast augmentation with Polytech (Germany) and Mentor (USA) implants, breast lift and reduction, liposuction, abdominoplasty and otoplasty — complemented by a corrective dermatosurgery and laser department offering botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid fillers, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, thread lifts, IPL treatments and surgical or laser mole removal. The team of six physicians is led by prim. MUDr. Dušan Záruba, head of the plastic surgery department, alongside plastic surgeons MUDr. Ivo Němec, Ph.D. and MUDr. Helena Singerová in Prague and MUDr. Tomáš Kupka in Karlovy Vary, with a dedicated anesthesiology specialist on staff. Surgery prices include all post-operative care and medication, 1–2 days of hospitalization on the clinic's own inpatient ward, compression garments and any corrective touch-ups within 6–12 months — an unusually complete package by Prague standards. The clinic publishes a transparent price list, holds a 4.9-star rating from 139 Estheticon reviews, arranges discounted partner hotels for out-of-town and international clients, and serves patients in Czech, English, German and Russian.

rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Rhinoplasty is one of UEM's top procedures, with complete nose reshaping — including correction of the bony framework, hump removal and tip refinement — priced at 44,000–54,000 Kč, and a soft-tissue tip-only correction from 24,000 Kč. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in the clinic's Prague Emauzy operating theatre with an included overnight stay on the in-house ward. MUDr. Ivo Němec, Ph.D., a plastic surgeon who is also a trained stomatosurgeon with deep facial-skeleton expertise, is among the surgeons performing nose corrections at the institute, and the clinic publishes patient rhinoplasty stories and recovery diaries on its site.

facelift

SMAS Facelift (Face and Neck)

UEM Prague performs the full SMAS facelift of the face and neck — repositioning the deeper muscular-aponeurotic layer rather than just pulling skin — for 50,000–58,000 Kč, with a less extensive mini facelift from 34,000 Kč. Surgery takes place in the clinic's own operating theatre in the Emauzy monastery complex, followed by 1–2 days on the on-site inpatient ward, which is included in the price together with all aftercare, medication and any corrective revision within a year. The operation is led by senior plastic surgeons with decades of practice, and the transparent published pricing is among the most competitive for a SMAS-level lift in Central Europe.

breast-surgery

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction at UEM Prague removes excess breast tissue and skin to relieve the physical burden of very large breasts — chronic back and neck pain, bra-strap grooving, posture problems and skin irritation — while reshaping and lifting the breast at the same time. Priced at 58,000–68,000 Kč with the roughly two-day hospital stay and full aftercare included, the operation is performed under general anesthesia by the institute's senior plastic surgeons in the Emauzy facility.

Kč 58,000

breast-surgery

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Mastopexy at UEM Prague lifts and reshapes sagging breasts — repositioning the nipple-areola complex, removing excess skin and tightening the breast envelope — for 52,000–62,000 Kč with hospitalization and full aftercare included. The procedure is popular after pregnancy and breastfeeding or major weight loss; UEM's published patient stories include detailed accounts of post-children breast lift journeys. Women who also want more volume can combine the lift with Polytech or Mentor implants in a single operation.

botox-fillers

Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

UEM Prague offers hyaluronic acid filler treatments performed by the physicians of its corrective dermatosurgery department — filling nasolabial folds, marionette lines and other static wrinkles from 3,000 Kč, and lip enhancement from 4,000 Kč. Fillers restore lost volume and smooth folds with immediate, reversible results lasting roughly 6–18 months depending on product and area. Treatment in a plastic-surgery institute means medical-grade product selection, sterile technique and a surgeon-level understanding of facial anatomy.

thread-lift

Thread Lift (Resorbable Mesothreads)

Thread lifting at UEM Prague uses resorbable mesothreads in various lengths, thicknesses and types to lift early facial sagging and stimulate collagen without surgery, priced at 4,000–10,000 Kč per treatment. Fine threads inserted under the skin create an immediate supportive mesh and trigger collagen formation as they dissolve over months. The treatment is performed by physicians of the institute's dermatosurgery department and suits patients with mild-to-moderate laxity who are not ready for a surgical facelift — with the surgical option available in the same clinic when laxity progresses.

consultation

Plastic Surgery Consultation

A 500 Kč consultation with one of UEM's plastic surgeons is the entry point to any procedure at the institute — the surgeon examines your anatomy, discusses realistic options and risks, recommends the appropriate operation or non-surgical alternative, and quotes the exact final price including anesthesia. Consultations run on fixed weekday hours in Prague Emauzy with prim. MUDr. Záruba, MUDr. Němec, Ph.D. or MUDr. Singerová, and can also be arranged individually through reception; the fee is a fraction of typical Western consultation pricing.

tummy-tuck

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

UEM Prague performs complete abdominoplasty — removing the apron of loose skin and fat from the abdomen and tightening separated abdominal muscles — for 58,000–68,000 Kč, with a smaller mini-tummy tuck of the lower abdominal fold from 30,000 Kč. The procedure is the standard correction after pregnancies or major weight loss when skin laxity cannot be fixed by exercise or liposuction alone. Roughly two days of hospitalization on the clinic's own ward, compression garments and complete aftercare are included in the published price.

Kč 58,000

breast-surgery

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation at UEM Prague uses brand-name silicone gel implants — Polytech (Germany) and Mentor (USA), in round or anatomical teardrop shapes — with surgery priced at 46,000–54,000 Kč plus 25,000–42,000 Kč for the implant pair depending on class. A combined augmentation with lift is available from 52,000 Kč for women with both volume loss and sagging. The operation is performed under general anesthesia with a 1–2 night stay on the clinic's own inpatient ward; hospitalization, compression garments, all aftercare and corrective touch-ups within a year are included in the published price.

Kč 46,000

eyelid-surgery

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Upper and lower eyelid surgery at UEM Prague corrects drooping upper lids, under-eye bags and fat prolapses that make the eyes look tired or aged. The procedure is one of the clinic's signature operations, performed by senior plastic surgeons including prim. MUDr. Dušan Záruba in the Emauzy monastery facility. Upper or lower lids cost 18,000 Kč each, or 35,000 Kč combined — with post-operative care, medication and any touch-up correction within a year included in the price. Most eyelid procedures run under local anesthesia with same-day discharge; sedation or general anesthesia can be added on request.

Kč 18,000

mole-removal

Mole and Skin Lesion Removal

UEM Prague removes moles, skin tags and other benign skin growths surgically from 500 Kč or by laser from 800 Kč per lesion, within its corrective dermatosurgery department. Removal by a plastic surgery institute brings two advantages: excised lesions can be handled with proper margins and histological pathways where examination is warranted, and closure technique is optimized for the finest possible scar — relevant for facial lesions. Same-visit removal of multiple lesions is routine.

botox-fillers

Botulinum Toxin Wrinkle Treatment

Botulinum toxin treatment at UEM Prague softens dynamic mimic wrinkles — forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet — by relaxing the overactive muscles that crease the skin, priced at 3,000–10,000 Kč depending on areas treated. Unusually, injections are administered in a plastic-surgery setting by the institute's physicians rather than in a beauty salon. The clinic also uses botulinum preparations medically to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of the underarms, palms and soles from 6,000 Kč, with effects lasting many months.

otoplasty

Otoplasty (Ear Correction)

Otoplasty at UEM Prague corrects protruding or asymmetric ears by reshaping the cartilage through an incision hidden behind the ear, at a flat published price of 24,000 Kč with all aftercare included. In adults the procedure runs comfortably under local anesthesia with same-day discharge; results are permanent and the post-auricular scar is invisible from the front. It is one of the most decisive yet lowest-downtime corrections in aesthetic surgery for a feature that often causes lifelong self-consciousness.

laser

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Fractional CO2 laser treatment at UEM Prague resurfaces ageing and sun-damaged skin — softening wrinkles, tightening texture, and improving acne scars and pigmentation — at 15,000–30,000 Kč per session depending on area. The carbon-dioxide laser is the gold-standard ablative resurfacing technology, and at UEM it is operated within a medical dermatosurgery department with physician oversight. A gentler full-field laser peeling and photo-rejuvenation option runs 8,000–12,000 Kč, and targeted laser scar correction starts from 1,000 Kč.

Kč 15,000

liposuction

Liposuction

Liposuction at UEM Prague removes diet-resistant fat deposits from areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees and chin, with transparent per-area pricing: one area 16,000–26,000 Kč, two areas from 26,000 Kč, three areas from 36,000 Kč, and chin liposuction from just 6,000 Kč. Compression garments and complete post-operative care are included. Smaller areas run under local anesthesia with same-day discharge; multi-area sessions can be done under sedation or general anesthesia with an included overnight ward stay.
