Frequently asked questions

What rhinoplasty techniques do Prague surgeons offer?
Prague plastic surgeons offer open rhinoplasty (external approach with a small incision under the nose tip), closed rhinoplasty (all incisions inside the nose), and ultrasonic piezo rhinoplasty (uses ultrasonic vibration to precisely reshape nasal bone without fracturing). Your surgeon will recommend the approach based on your anatomy and goals. Most cosmetic rhinoplasties in Prague use the open technique for better precision.
How long is recovery after rhinoplasty in Prague?
A nasal splint or cast is worn for 7-10 days and removed at the follow-up appointment. Bruising around the eyes peaks at days 2-3 and fades over 2 weeks. Swelling reduces significantly by 2-3 weeks, but subtle swelling at the nose tip can take 6-12 months to fully resolve. Most patients feel comfortable returning to social activities 2 weeks after surgery. You should plan to stay in Prague until the cast is removed.
Can I see a simulation of my rhinoplasty results before surgery?
Yes, most Prague cosmetic clinics use digital imaging software to create a 3D simulation of your expected results during the consultation. This helps you and the surgeon align on goals and set realistic expectations. The simulation is a guide, not a guarantee, as the final result depends on skin thickness, cartilage structure, and healing. Some clinics offer a free virtual consultation with simulation before you commit to traveling.
What does a rhinoplasty package in Prague include?
A typical rhinoplasty package includes the surgeon consultation, pre-operative blood tests, the surgery under general anaesthesia, one night in the clinic, post-operative medications, and the follow-up visit for cast removal at 7-10 days. Some clinics include airport transfers and a patient coordinator. Flights, accommodation, and travel insurance are not included.
Is rhinoplasty in Prague safe and how do I choose a surgeon?
Prague plastic surgeons are registered with the Czech Medical Chamber and many hold EBOPRAS (European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery) certification. Look for surgeons who are members of the Czech Society of Plastic Surgery and who can show before/after portfolios of at least 100 rhinoplasty cases. All private clinics performing cosmetic surgery in the Czech Republic must be licensed by the Regional Public Health Authority.
What is the difference between open and closed rhinoplasty?
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella, allowing the surgeon to directly visualize nasal structures — preferred for complex reshaping. Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions entirely inside the nostrils with no visible external scarring but offers more limited surgical access.
When will the final shape of my nose be visible?
The cast is removed at about one week and initial results are apparent, but the nose will be noticeably swollen. Most swelling resolves within 3-6 months, though subtle tip refinement continues for 12-18 months. Patients with thicker skin may require up to 2 years to see their definitive result.
What happens if I am not satisfied with my rhinoplasty results?
Revision rhinoplasty can address residual asymmetry, breathing issues, or aesthetic concerns, but surgeons recommend waiting at least 12 months for all swelling to resolve. Revision surgery is more complex due to scar tissue, so choosing a surgeon experienced in revision cases is critical. Approximately 5-15% of patients seek revision.
Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
Candidates should have fully developed facial bone structure — typically by age 15-16 for girls and 17-18 for boys — and be in good overall health. Results depend on existing skin thickness, cartilage strength, and facial anatomy. Active smokers should quit at least 4 weeks before and after surgery.
What scarring should I expect from rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty leaves no visible external scars since all incisions are inside the nostrils. Open rhinoplasty produces a small scar on the columella that typically fades to a nearly invisible line within 3-6 months. Sun protection during healing is important to prevent scar darkening.
