Flat Nose with Wide Nostrils - Cost to Fix?

The approximate cost for an Asian rhinoplasty is about $6000, which includes the operating room, anesthesia, and the surgeon’s fee for performing the procedure. A flat nose is built up with a silastic implant. The size is determined at the time of consultation. Wide nostrils are narrowed through an alar plasty. Tip surgery can be performed to feminize and refine the tip. Look for a rhinoplasty surgeon who has performed thousands of nasal surgeries.

Hi Singapore3683,

Rhinoplasty is not one operation, but rather many potential procedures to improve the appearance and function of the face and nose. The cost of plastic surgery varies greatly, but it's usually similar for plastic surgeons in your area. Portions of plastic surgery may also be covered by your insurance provider. The cost of cosmetic surgery involves several charges for the entire service. The total fees may also include cost of surgical supplies, laboratory tests, anesthesia, and hospital operating room charges, in addition to the surgeon's fee for performing the cosmetic surgery.

Plastic surgery cost depends on several factors, but largely dependent on the following:

Region - Beverly Hills rhinoplasty more expensive than rural Midwest

Complexity - Full rhinoplasty treating many parts of the nose and requiring anesthesia is more expensive than simple procedures isolated to specific areas which may be performed with local anesthesia

Revision surgery - Revision plastic surgery is generally more expensive than primary surgery

Surgeon - Some plastic surgeons charge significantly more or less than their peers 

For Asian patients, rhinoplasty may involve building the bridge with an implant (cartilage, silicone, etc), narrowing the nostrils, and refining the tip. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a rhinoplasty surgeon help determine appropriate options for you, and also determine potential cost. Best of luck.
