Cost of a nose job
Templeton
I would agree with other comments on this topic. However, I would add one more important point. Rhinoplasty is different from most other types of surgery.
The best rhinoplasty surgeon are artists - they are capable of combining the logic, step by step left brain thinking required with most surgeries with the artistic right brain skills required to create a beautiful nose. This point can not be underestimated. This is why you must look at before and after photographs on the...

Rhinoplasty is a procedure not to pick on price
Rhinoplasty is the most difficult procedure in cosmetic surgery.
It can have a high touch up rate as well. There are a lot of surgeons performing almost the exactly same operation on each person.
The best advice I can give is to pick a surgeon that has had ear, nose, and throat training or a surgeon that does a nasal operation every week. Surprisingly, few do.

Cost of Rhinoplasty
The cost of a rhinoplasty does depend on where you are located. The more rural, the less it is, and in the more urban areas you will find that the costs are higher. While price is always a consideration, it is more important to check the surgeons qualifications, board status and experience. Rhinoplasty is a complex operation and you have to choose someone who is skilled over a good price.

Rhinoplasty costs vary by difficulty and surgeon experience
Ahhh...the million dollar question. What will a Rhinoplasty cost. No two noses are the same and as such you should expect to be treated as an individual who's requirements are unique. This means that the fees you'll pay for your Rhinoplasty will vary as well. However, in my opinion, there are some generalizations.
1. Primary or first time Rhinoplasties will be less expensive then Revision Rhinoplasties that are definitely more work and much more difficult for the plastic and cosmetic...

Cost of rhinoplasty
I agree with all the above. Rhinoplasty is the single most complex operation in cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. However, skill and technique and time to perform the operation vary dramatically. The most important choice to make is the experience of the plastic surgeon peforming the operation.

Cost reflects surgeon's work and philosophy
I can only speak personally. In the Boston area, nasal surgery prices vary, but what is the surgeon doing to your nose? If the rhinoplasty is just a reduction, that is a 30-45 minute operation and costs less. But reduction rhinoplasty does not solve many nasal problems, and so surgeons have added grafts to the operation to improve support and contour and to protect your airway.
But if you are having septal surgery for your airway, spreader grafts (to support your...

Rhinoplasty cost based on many factors
The cost of rhinoplasty varies significantly depending on several factors:
1) primary vs. revision, with revision rhinoplasty typically being more expensive
2) the amount of work needed to be done, as shorter cases have lower costs in terms of anesthesia costs, surgical center fees, and surgeon's fees.
3) whether you have a medical reason to have nasal surgery (deviated septum, difficulty breathing, history of nasal trauma etc.) in which case your insurance may cover a...

Rhinoplasty cost
In the Salt Lake City area, the cost is significantly lower than elsewhere in the country. My fee for a rhinoplasty is $4000 plus the cost of anesthesia (usually ~$800). If the surgery is done in my office-based surgical suite, there is no facility fee charge. Again, cost of office space, employee costs, etc... is lower than other parts of the country allowing us to keep our fees reasonable.
