Looking for Rhinoplasty with Local + IV Sedation in CA?

I'm looking to have Rhinoplasty with IV Sedation or Twilight Sedation. I live in California and my budget is $5k-6k. I want to remove the bump on the bridge of my nose, and want to make my bulbous tip and nostrils smaller and more refined. Is there anyone who does Rhinoplasty with IV Sedation or Twilight Sedation for around $5-6k in CA? Thank You.

Rhinoplasty with Local Anesthesia?

I am a Rhiniplasty surgeon. While there are many different types of anesthesia one must assess what needs to be done and how realistic the type of anesthesia will be to accomplish those goals safely. If you had a simple dorsal hump that was being taken down by a closed approach maybe twilight sleep would work. I still to this day do not understand why patients always want to sell themselves short by cutting cost in the most important aspect of the case. For what it sounds like you want, tip... more

Looking for Rhinoplasty with Local + IV Sedation in CA?

IMHO, it's never in your best interest to seek a Rhinoplasty Surgeon based upon price. Aesthetic understanding to create a naturally more attractive nose and face should be your primary focus and once sure of that fact, you could factor in the cost. IV sedation does not allow airway security and therefore is not as safe as a general anesthetic where the airway is secured with either an ET tube or LMA. Patient safety should always be the top priority. more

Rhinoplasty under Local Anesthesia

Nasal surgery can be done under general anesthesia and under local anesthesia with sedation. Your surgeon will make an appropriate choice based on the degree of internal nasal work required in conjunction with the cosmetic work.

Rhinoplasty and price

I do not know the specific fees in California, but in NYC that is very low. Be careful what you wish for. Sometimes low prices may be at that level for a reason. Be careful.

When Shopping by Price Only, You Must Do Lots of Homework. Be Careful!

Hello, We all budget for what we want; that is healthy. However, when searching for a highly-specialized, very experienced rhinoplasty super-specialist, which is what most people want, you need to do lots of homework. For example, ideally, you want a board-certified specialist who also did additional facial cosmetic surgery fellowship training. Do enough research and you will find such a specialist and particularly one whose practice is mainly nose surgery. Having the procedure under... more

Rhinoplasty with IV sedation

I perform closed rhinoplasties (no external scar) routinely under general anesthesia. However, sedation can be used as well. The procedure usually lasts an hour or so, and patients usually look very nice at three to four weeks. However, some people stay swollen for longer. As per your financial considerations, I am sure that we can work within your budget. Good luck.
