How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost?

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 surgeon's website.
Experience, time in the operating room, complexity and sometimes even the surgeon's reputation does not always produce beautiful noses. It is similar to asking the question how much does an artist's painting cost? I could answer this by saying that it depends on the cost of the paint, the canvas, the brushes, the amount of time it takes to paint, the rent costs at my studio, etc. Is this what makes the difference between a da Vinci painting and one by an art student?
Make sure you look at fifty or more before and after photographs of each surgeon your are considering.

The cost of Rhinoplasty depends on many variables including the region your are in, the surgeons credentials, and the surgeons experience.  Typically the cost will range from around $4500 to 16,000 depending on location.  Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeons may cost more, and revision rhinoplasty procedures are somewhat more costly due to the complexity of the procedures.  Typically the cost covers all consultation and postop visits along with computer imaging and treatment planning.  Best Regards

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.

• In the United States, the average cost of rhinoplasty ranges from about $6,000 to $15,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and surgeon experience  . • According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average surgeon’s fee is approximately $7,637, but this excludes expenses like anesthesia, facility fees, and other related costs . • Some sources note an average expense closer to $5,483, though total fees often go higher depending on the region and specifics of the case .

State-by-State Price Variation:
Prices can vary significantly by location. For example: • In Michigan, rhinoplasty typically costs around $6,200, while in New York, it averages closer to $12,300 . • Regional ranges also reflect these disparities: • Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington: typically between $3,100 and $15,995  . • Alabama, Florida, Georgia: often between $2,500 and $8,000 . • A detailed state-by-state breakdown shows wide variation by region: • Alabama: $2,500–$8,000 • Illinois: $3,500–$14,000 • Texas: $4,500–$15,000 • And others fall within similar brackets .

Key Factors That Influence Cost: 1. Surgeon’s expertise and whether they are board-certified. 2. Geographic location, with urban centers or affluent areas often costing more. 3. Complexity of the procedure, including whether you need septoplasty, tip refinement, or revision surgery. 4. Additional fees like anesthesia, facility, and post-op care, which significantly add to the total cost.

Summary: • Average cost in the U.S.: ~$6,000–$15,000 (surgeon’s fee ~ $7,600) • Cost varies by state, ranging from as low as $2,500 to as high as $15,000+, depending on location and surgical complexity.

Hello and thank you for your question. There is a lot of variability in regards to pricing based on surgeon expertise and location. The total cost of primary rhinoplasty in my practice is $22.5k (all fees included). If you have breathing problems with documented nostril collapse and a deviated septum, then insurance can sometimes cover a portion of the cost. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

This is such a great question as it is hard to really nail down the price you should be paying for a rhinoplasty. The variability in cost is extremely wide ranging based on geographic location and surgeon. I personally think it is a good idea to get more than one quote for surgery to better understand the market. Just because someone charges the most in your region, doesn't necessarily mean that you will be getting "the best" and I think the most important aspect of choosing a surgeon is finding someone that is up-front, honest, and realistic about what can be done. Ultimately you want to find a mutual agreement between what is obtainable and making sure this fits with your goals.

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.

Cost of rhinoplasty is made up of surgical fees, theatre/ bed fees from the hospital and anaesthetic cost. The surgical fee will vary depending on the complexity and estimated time in theatre (eg a revision is likely to be more time consuming and expensive). As a guide in Victoria surgical fees are 10- 20K.

Thank you for your question!
Rhinoplasty is a complex procedure that can involve both functional and cosmetic components. Due to the complexity, pricing varies a lot between provider to provider, state to state, and even from patient to patient. Most rhinoplasties fall within a range of $7,500-15,000. Revision rhinoplasty can be more expensive due to the challenges and complexity associated with those cases. Some providers will accept insurance to cover the function portion of a rhinoplasty case, such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction, or nasal valve repair.
I hope this helps!
All the best,

The cost for a Surgical Rhinoplasty procedure typically ranges anywhere between $8,500 - $11,000+gst. Price varies depending on each patient's individual needs and goals. The plastic surgeons credentials and equipment being used during the procedure may also affect the cost. It is recommended to meet in-person with the surgeon to share your goals, which will help determine the best procedure for you.

Thank you for your question. The cost of rhinoplasty varies significantly, based on various factors like your location, the experience of your surgeon, and the amount of correction required to produce an optimal outcome. Your best bet is to schedule a few consultations with some very experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeons in your area. Through an in-person examination and discussion of your concerns and goals, your surgeon can create a customized treatment plan and provide the cost of the plan at that time. Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is a highly specialized procedure that requires a great deal of expertise, experience, and even artistry to produce an optimal outcome. Choose your surgeon based on qualifications before price and you are likely to get the greatest value for your investment.
