Each surgeon may have a different revision policy

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Average Revision Rhinoplasty cost with the same doctor?

My plastic surgeon says that my nasal bone must have collapsed post-surgery, and I need a revision. He has yet to quote a price and I am worried because I cannot afford another. When something like this occurs, what is the usual cost? Is it the same as a normal rhinoplasty when you go to the same doctor? Also, what does it mean when a nasal bone collapses (I know I should have listened more, but when he said I needed another, I nearly fainted)? How is it possible that I can breathe fine even if the nasal bone has collapsed?

Every physician has a different policy. However, the bottom line is that most surgeons will try to achieve and optimal outcome. It is in everyones best interest. There are several different reasons why the nasal bone could have collapsed and noone can tell you for sure.

Discuss your financial concerns with your surgeon and I am sure they will try to work with you. Oftentimes they desire that you cover the costs of the operating room and anesthesia. However, policies do differ
