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. If you view their website and rhinoplasty is the 12th listed procedure behind breast reconstruction, breast lifting, mommy makeovers and tummy tucks...DO NOT GO TO THAT... more

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... more

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.

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... more

Rhinoplasty cost in Atlanta

The price for a rhinoplasty depends on the geographic location, experience of the surgeon, and the type of rhinoplasty you need. This can range from $3500 to $30,000. On average, most rhinoplasties cost between $5000-$8000 including anesthesia. More important than the cost of the rhinoplasty is the qualifications of the surgeon, the number of rhinoplasties he or she has performed, and the quality of before and after photos that reveals that surgeon's aesthetic judgement... more

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... more

How much does a rhinoplasty cost?

In our practice, the cost of a nose job (cost of rhinoplasty) generally runs from about $7000 to $12,000, depending on the exact procedure to be performed. Where the surgery is completed is also a major factor. If the nose job must be done in a hospital instead of an outpatient surgery center, the cost will be higher. It also includes the cost of anesthesiologist. And finally, the main factor influencing the prices of nose job is the surgeon fee, and this depends on his/her training and the... more

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.

The Cost of Rhinoplasty

The cost of rhinoplasty depends on the complexity or difficulty of your nose and the level of experience/ expertise of your surgeon. In my practice this could range from $6,000 to $15,000. Revision rhinoplasty cases typically cost more. It is very important to get your primary rhinoplasty by someone who is passionate about getting the best result possible. As the saying goes, the first time is the best time to get it right. Also you want to have any functional problems such as... more

New York City vs. Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty costs

I do surgery in both New York City (Upper East Side) and Beverly Hills. The cost in NYC is significantly higher because the operating rooms charge more and the anesthesiologists charge about double in NYC compared to the Beverly Hills Anesthesiologists. Who would have ever thought the overhead in Beverly Hills would be cheap compared to a different location? The cost in NYC is about $3000 more than Beverly Hills.

Factors That Influence Rhinoplasty Costs

There is no such thing as an average rhinoplasty cost. Many things influence the price. For example: Is the surgery a primary rhinoplasty or a revision of previous work? Is the surgery a minor modification of an unwanted characteristic or a full rhinoplasty? Are grafts needed to give better shape or definition? Do not shop price! Look for an experienced surgeon with whom you feel comfortable-a surgeon that shares your aesthetic tastes.

Cost of rhinoplasty surgery varies greatly

Rhinoplasty costs vary greatly from surgeon to surgeon and can depend on a number of variables: Experience of the surgeon - needless to say, with rhinoplasty, you want a surgeon with plenty of experience Amount of time the surgeon spends working on your nose - some surgeon perform rhinoplasty in 30-45 minutes while other take 3-4 hours. Although time spent is not the only indicator of quality, it often gives you a sense of the amount the 'detail work' the surgeon performs. Complexity of... more

Cost of Rhinoplasty

The fees for rhinoplasty vary depending on the complexity of the case. Rhinoplasty is the one of the most complex operations performed by plastic surgeons and with the increased complexity of the rhinoplasty comes the cost variation. A primary rhinoplasty will be less expensive than a revision rhinoplasty, and a septorhinoplasty to correct breathing difficulties will also be more costly. This in part is due to the increase in operating room time and subsequent increase OR and... more

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.

Cost of rhinoplasty

No two rhinoplasties are the same. Some require correction of breathing, others narrowing the nostrils, still others osteotomies. Pricing is dependent on the complexity and length of the procedure. Tip rhinoplasty is the least expensive surgery with total costs including the facility and anesthesia at $4500 to $5000. Full rhinoplasty begins at $5500 and goes up to $8000 in my practice. My patient population is middle class and I am sensitive to their financial constraints. When you... more

The cost of rhinoplasty or a nose job is subjective.
