Rhinoplasty

The price varies depending on the technique (open/closed), whether septum correction is included, whether the surgery is primary or revision, the type of anesthesia, and the clinic. An exact price can only be given after an in-person consultation and examination — you can book a free consultation for this.

Since the operation is performed under general anesthesia, no pain is felt during the procedure. In the following days there may be mild to moderate pain and a stuffy feeling, which is easily managed with pain medication prescribed by the doctor.

Office work that does not require physical exertion can usually be resumed within 10-14 days. After the splint is removed on day 6-7, visible swelling and bruising decrease, but for physically demanding work an additional few weeks of waiting is recommended.

It is generally recommended after age 18, when the facial bone structure has finished developing. Only in cases of significant breathing problems can a functional intervention at an earlier age be considered separately.

The result of rhinoplasty is considered permanent, since it is based on changing the bone and cartilage structure of the nose. The final shape fully emerges after the 6-12 month period needed for the tissues to completely stabilize.

With the closed technique, the incision is inside the nose, so no visible external scar remains. With the open technique, a very thin scar may remain under the columella (the external part of the septum), which becomes practically unnoticeable over time.

Medically, a specific season is not a requirement; the operation is performed safely year-round. Still, some patients prefer the autumn-winter months to reduce the negative effect of sun exposure on the skin during the swelling period.

With the closed technique, all incisions are made inside the nose and no external scar remains; it is usually chosen for milder changes. With the open technique, a small additional incision is made on the columella, giving the surgeon a wider view and an advantage for complex structural changes. The choice depends on the nasal anatomy and the planned changes.

Yes, correcting a deviated septum (septoplasty) is often combined with aesthetic rhinoplasty in a single operation. This improves breathing function and helps achieve a symmetrical nose shape.

A properly planned rhinoplasty, especially when septum correction is included, can improve breathing. At the same time, even in purely aesthetic operations, the internal structures are approached carefully so as not to worsen existing breathing function — this is discussed in detail during the consultation.

Yes, temporary numbness or tingling at and around the nasal tip is a fairly common temporary occurrence. It usually resolves gradually on its own within a few weeks to months.

After waiting at least 12 months for the tissues to fully stabilize, if significant dissatisfaction with shape or function remains, a revision operation may be considered. This decision is always made after an individual examination.
