Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionIs Rhinoplasty Affordable for a College Student?
I'd like to know if a rhinoplasty operation is affordable for a college student living at home with his parents working a part-time job that makes around $7-$12 dollars an hour. Im set on getting a rhinoplasty operation, but am not sure if I can afford it based on my limited income for the time being.

Rhinoplasty possible for College Students.
Costs can vary widely across the country and even in the same city. We have a number of college students who have surgery with us. The most important consideration that we tell them is to ensure that it is done with a reputable surgeon and that you are not rushing the surgery to fit into your college schedule. 3rd party financing such as CareCredit can often spread out the costs for a patient.

Rhinoplasty costs
The costs for rhinoplasty include surgeons fees, facility and anesthesia fees. They can add to an amount that is not in a college student's budget. Many offices offer credit financial aid, but adding debt at ones early years needs to be evaluated. This procedure is not a covered cost with insurance companies. Good luck.

Do not choose your rhinoplasty surgeon soley on the price of the procedure
Rhinoplasty is the most complicated of all cosmetic surgeries. I would seek consultation with multiple surgeons to get several different opinions. Cost can vary widely, but do not pick you surgeon just because he is the cheapest. Seek a surgeon who does several surgeries a week, not the occasional rhinoplasty surgeon. Be sure to see lots of before and after pictures. Board Certification by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery...

Costs for Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty surgery fees differ from surgeon to surgeon, where their location is as well the difficulty or ease of the procedure and the surgeons expertise. Personally I do many rhinoplasty surgeries on graduates of High School prior to their departing to college. Those patients run a gambit as far as whether the cost is feasible. Many patients have the good fortune that the fees are a graduating present, others take out loans prior to college as they want a fresh start with improved self...

Is Rhinoplasty affordable for a college student?
I have performed Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and IMHO, the cost of the Rhinoplasty is the last factor anyone should use in selecting their Rhinoplasty Surgeon. Instead follow these steps in deciding if Rhinoplasty is right for you and who you want to perform the Rhinoplasty. These, IMHO, are the most important deciding factors:
The Aesthetic judgement of the plastic and cosmetic surgeon, or in thgis case, the Rhinoplasty surgeon. Even the most talent Rhinoplasty...

Beverly Hills rhinoplasty costs
Hello and thank you for the question.
There is quite a variety in prices for a primary rhinoplasty and it is region and surgeon dependent. In Beverly Hills, you can expect to pay anywhere from $7500 up to $22,000 USD for a primary rhinoplasty. I suggest you consult with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons or Facial Plastic Surgeons and get as many opinions as necessary to make you comfortable with the procedure.
Best of luck,

A rhinoplasty is an expensive procedure
A rhinoplasty is an extensive procedure and should not be done if you are going to be looking for a 'budget' surgery.
If it is not done right the first time you will need a revision rhinoplasty (as almost 20% of the population does) so will end up costing even more in the long run. You really do get what you pay for in most situations.
However, my office sometimes offers special discounts if we can use the patient's testimonial and before/after photos for a...

Please do not seek out a "bargain" rhinoplasty
If you truly want to have a rhinoplasty, seek out the most qualified Facial Plastic Surgeon that does ALOT of rhinoplasty. Get a second opinion if you have any doubts and a third opinion after that if necessary. Look at lots of photos. Ask your surgeons if they can use software to give you a look at the result they're seeking to obtain. Make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Pick your surgeon, then consider the cost. If you cannot afford it then wait until you have the...
