I was just wondering if this would be considered a large hump and would cost more than normal to straighten out. Also do u think if i only got it straight would it make my nose look longer?

Does it cost more to fix a large nasal hump......

No, it does not. Removal of a nasal hump is part of the cosmetic rhinoplasty procedure. Rhinoplasty is the most difficult and challenging procedure done in plastic surgery. Correction of a large nasal hump requires more finesse from the surgeon and it should be done in a gradual manner so as to not have an overcorrection or a saddle nose deformity.

Cost of rhinoplasty to fix a large hump

The rhinoplasty operation cost is based on the actual procedure itself. It does not matter how large or small the hump is. The average price for a rhinoplasty is about $6000 to $7000 in the United States. Revision rhinoplasty is usually a little more expensive because of the complexity of cartilage grafting necessary.

Cost for Removal of Large Nasal Hump

The size of your nasal hump will not influence the cost of your surgery. The projection of your tip will determine how much hump should be remove to establish proper balance; I suggest increasing tip projection so you have a strong profile after removal of the hump.

Generally, the cost of rhinoplasty is not determined by the size of the hump.  Warmest regards, Dr. Pippin.

Fees for fixng a nasal hump

The cost is generally not reflective of the hump but how much work it will take to achieve the final result. Your nose could be approached utilizing a variety of different techniques. I see a large depression at the bridge of your nose and fullness in the area just above the tip. I would treat both and this would require more work than just a straightforward rhinoplasty. The total costs would be commensurate with the additional surgery, time, anesthesia and operatory fees.... more

Cost of rhinoplasty relative to size?

The cost of a rhinoplasty varies by city and state. However, most surgeons do not charge by the size of the hump.

Does It Cost More to Fix a Large Hump?

In my practice the fees for rhinoplasty are generally fixed.  There are specific fees based on whether the surgery is a revision, whether the nostrils need to be reduced, or if a septoplasty is required, for example.  If the surgery is particularly complicated and requires more time in the OR, the anesthesia fees would be higher, as they are generally calculated based on time.

Cost of surgery

There are many factors which go into the cost of surgery.  First, there is the surgeon fee which is determined by your surgeon.  There are then the OR and the Anesthesia fees which can be charged by the hour or by the surgery.  In the end, you usually end up paying about the same.  Good luck with your surgery.

Does it cost more to remove a large bump with rhinoplasty?

No it does not. However, you need more than a bump removal. The tip needs to be lengthened and possibly narrowed(can't tell without the frontal view). Also, black noses require experience in dealing with thicker skin. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does many ethnic noses to get the best results.

No

Removal of a "hump" on your nose should be the same reguardless of the size.  What's more important is too meet with a surgeon who knows how to remove the right amout and consel you on the effect that hump removal will have.  As straight foward as it seems, for some noses, adding a graft to the bridge of a nose is more beneficial than removing a hump.  Making a nose straight won't likely change the appearance of the length.

The fee for rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons usually does not vary too much.  As for your specific concern, you would have to be seen in person and evaluated.

Cost to remove a large Nasal Hump

The cost to remove a small or large dorsal nasal hump should be the same.  Cost will vary from surgeon to surgeon and by region of the country.  Also if your nose has already been operated on, this may make for a more complex operation, and hence more cost.  Hope this helps.   Dr D.
