Your Opinion on Rhinoplasty and Breast Augmentation Costs?

The surgery costs seem reasonable but would like an outside opinion. I had 3 consultations for rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. Two doctors gave me printed estimates, but the first doctor's receptionist said she couldn't print out the quote for me, and didn't want to show the breakdown.

Rhinoplasty and breast augmentation costs:

1st doctor - $8,900 in total for both surgeries at the same time at his clinic

2nd doctor - $7,070 both
surgeon fee: $3600
saline implants: $875
anesthesia: $1000
operating room fee: $1540
lab fee: $30
bra: $25

3rd dr.- about $12,000 seperate surgeries
surgeon fee: $3500
saline implants: $1675
anesthesia: $400
operating room fee: $900
rhinoplasty: $5600

The 1st doctor said they'd price match. How often does that occur and does it offend other doctors when a patient does that?

Price and Physician. which is more important?

While price is always a consideration, it is more important to check the surgeons' qualifications, board status and experience. Rhinoplasty is a complex operation and you have to choose someone who is skilled over a good price. The surgeries can be performed at the same sitting. You do not need two different surgeries, and thus 2 different recovery periods and additional costs.

Many factors in deciding between doctors

First of all, I would avoid the doctor whose staff wouldn't give you a printed quote. Second as Dr. Placik explained, there are many things to clarify like where the surgery will be done and who will be giving anesthesia. You should also carefully reviews each doctor's photos of breasts and noses - there have to be differences in what you se as no 2 doctors are the same! Finally, from a risk standpoint, I would not do your surgeries together because rhinoplasties are not "sterile"... more

Compare results not costs

The average price for a rhinoplasty is approximately $6,000 but can range anywhere from $4,000 to $10,000. Since the rhinoplasty is the much more difficult procedure, make sure that your rhinoplasty surgeon has performed thousands of rhinoplasties and is very comfortable with all of the nuances regarding a three-dimensional structure of the nose, breathing, and can give the patient a very natural result.

Be cautious of the doctor that won't print out price quote

The first doctor refusing to print out a price quote is strange. This should be a normal part of any consultation. It sounds like there are some red flags going off in your mind too. I would steer clear of that doctor. For the other two you need to see who you feel most comfortable with and make sure you are satisfied with examples of their before and after photos. I would also make sure both have appropriate training for these surgeries. You can be assured they are qualified if they are... more

Plastic Surgery Pricing

As the other doctors pointed out, you have detailed the prices but what about the surgeons? What about the anesthesiologist? Price is not everything or the only thing when it comes to plastic surgery. It is far more expensive to have to redo a bad breast cheap or nose job than to have paid a little more at the front end and not have any issues. This is not to mention the heartache you would go thru. You need to look at the surgeons, board certified, the type of anesthesia, whether they... more

Surgeons fees

When it comes to plastic surgery. You should not let the price be the deciding factor. Don't forget you are going to look at your nose the rest of your life. If you have a great result you would be the happiest person. You could also be miserable if the results aren't good.

Comparing prices

Although you are providing alot of information, there are still alot of factors that you have not provided that can make a significant difference in the price. For example, board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or surgeon providing anesthesia. Anatomic saline implants or smooth round? It is not quite fair to compare without knowing the exact details.
