How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost?

Rhinoplasty cost is dependent upon 4 factors:1) Complexity of surgery: Which itself is dependent upon your history, anatomy and aesthetic wishes2) Surgeon experience and expertise: Surgeons are not all create equal when it comes to aesthetic procedure that require specialization. Rhinoplasty is one such procedure. I cannot tell you how many patients comes to me for revision rhinoplasty after having had their initial surgery by another surgeon just because they were cheaper or more locally accessible. It's not that they were botched, they were not. But they ended up with very mediocre results, without contour and usually a hanging tip or wide bridge still. 3) Location: I echo my colleague who mentioned just like cost of living varies from area code to area code, so does cost of surgery4) OR fees and anesthesia: These are added on costs and can vary from one hospital/surgery center to the next and could influence overall cost.
Rhinoplasty (or any cosmetic procedure) is not cheap. Do your research well because there is nothing worse than choosing your surgeon based on cost alone, only to end up with underwhelming results that you either learn to live with or need revision surgery for which is far more expensive.

There are three components to the cost of rhinoplasty. First, there is a facility fee. This fee covers operating room rent, time and costs associated with covering the staff salaries as well as equipment used during the case. Second part of the cost is anesthesia fee. This includes paying the anesthesiologist for their time as well as paying for their equipment and medications used during procedure. The third cost is surgeons fee. This not only includes their time and expertise, but also includes all of the pre and post-operative care that goes with it. The other dimension to consider is the type of the case, not every rhinoplasty is the same. It can vary from minor touch up or revision, primary surgery or major revision Surgical times may vary depending on the complexity. Skill and experience of the surgeon should also be considered. Surgeons who do lots of rhinoplasties will get more efficient as they perform more cases so average operative times go down. Finally, there are competitive market pressures that drive the cost of surgery. If you want to check out our prices please visit our website below. Thank you.

Thanks for the question. The cost of a rhinoplasty varies quite significantly. First, it depends on what you need done and how extensive it is. Second, it depends on the surgeon. Things that can effect a surgeon's cost include: practice location, surgeon's experience, etc. Third, it depends on whether any part of the rhinoplasty is covered by insurance. Every surgeon is different - but some surgeons may accept insurance to cover a part of the rhinoplasty if it is for a functional purpose (ex. difficulty breathing). In that case, the septoplasty portion (removing part of the septum) may be covered by insurance. Keep in mind, insurance approval is completely variable and dependent on your insurance plan and whether or not the surgeon accepts insurance. I would advise focusing on quality and not just the money aspect.
