How Much Does Revision Rhinoplasty Cost?
asked 3 years ago by avisvh98 in Scottsdale

Question viewed 7,449 times
Tags: costs, price
I am from Phoenix, AZ. How much should a revision rhinoplasty with little bone trimming, and some cartilage removal / restructuring cost in US$ terms? I am a male. While I am quite happy with my nose, I do have some extra cartilage on the left side of my nose more than my right. While I have lived with it all these years, I am contemplating rhinoplasty as I have time on my side for recovery. I hope not to head again for any corrective surgery. It almost seems like if that little extra cartilage can be removed from left side of my nose, I would be just fine. I am quite fine with the tip of my nose.

Revision rhinoplasty
Revising the nose is a generic term that can mean many different things, from a minor revision of an asymmetry of cartilage to totally redoing the entire nose. Your request sounds relatively simple and would not require an extensive surgical or recovery time. The cost would depend on the amount and difficulty of the procedure and could vary from $4-10,000.

Revision cost
Hello,
There is not a lot of difference in price between a rhinoplasty and a revision rhiniplasty of many of the same steps are taken. If cartilage needs to be removed or bone shaved down the revision surgery would be considered a formal procedure and the price would be comparable to the full rhinoplasty procedure. My average rhinoplasty procedure is about 8-9K and revisions may be 1-2K less than that.
All the best,

Cost of Revision Rhinoplasty
The cost of revision rhinoplasty will vary depending on geographic location, expertise of the surgeon, degree of difficulty of the procedure and operating room expenses. It is a difficult procedure to master and you should seek out an experienced board certified surgeon to perform it so that you hopefully do not need a third surgery further on down the road.

Cost for Revision Rhinoplasty
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to give an accurate cost for revision rhinoplasty. The fee varies enormously depending upon where you live, the experience of the surgeon, and the cost of the operating room facility. If it is performed in the physician's office as an outpatient ambulatory setting, it is usually less expensive. Certainly, the cost of surgery in Los Angeles or New York would be more expensive than surgery in Orlando.

I think you have to go back and discuss those issues with your surgeon. There is no one who knows what is going on in your nose now than the last surgeon who operated on you. That may save you a great deal of money and it sounds like a minor issue to handle.

Cost of revision rhinoplasty
While your problem may seem minor and easily fixed there usually a minimum amount of work that need to be done to get into any revision and correct the problems cleanly. You dont want to do anymore than one more surgery if possible. In my office a standard revision rhinoplasty is 6500$ to which you would add 450$ for local anesthesia and 1750$ for I.V. sedation with an anesthetist.

Costs for a primary or revision rhinoplasty often vary by geographic region. In general, revision rhinoplasty costs more due to the greater intricacies that are involved and typically the surgery can be more involved but not always as perhaps in your case. The costs for a primary rhinoplasty in this area are about 5500 dollars and around 6500 for a revision. It could be a lot less depending upon what needs to be done. I hope this information helps.

Revision rhinoplasty often worth while
Dear Avisvh98,
The actual cost of nasal surgery has several factors, one of which is how much work has to be done to give the nose just the right finishing touches. The revision will take a certain amount of time and this will impact the surgeons fee and the fee at the facility, and fee with the anesthesia provider. Often there wil be a base or package fee set by a facility for nasal procedures and your surgeon will use this a starting point to develop the procedure cost to you.

Ask your doctor
The fee for the revision will depend on the amount of the work and also your surgeon. Please do not make your decision solely on the fee. More expensive does not mean better result and cheaper surgery may cost you much more in long run.
Do your homework and make sure to get patient referral and also see at 3 different surgeons before you make a decision.
