Cost for Rhinoplasty (Hump Removal)?

I am going to have RS performed around end of May/Beginning of June. My Question is based off the picture I have attached,my current picture is the one on the right I would like my nose to look like that on the left of the picture , how much would the surgery roughly be.

On cases where a hump is the only problem how common is it for the swelling to take that long. Thanks!

Rhinoplasty and cost.

The swelling will still take a year. Sometimes removing "just the bump" causes other parts of the nose to be modified to fit your face. The cost will depend on the amount of work and the experience of the surgeon. Don't shop price-shop quality--it's not a Chevy!

Rhinoplasty swelling

It looks like you've given yourself a nice and realistic result on your photoshopped photos.  Swelling can indeed last up to a year, and every patient is a bit different in terms of how quickly their swelling comes down.  However, with just a reduction of the hump, you would be able to see some difference within a few weeks after surgery.  Good luck, /nsn.
