Rhinoplasty: Q&A

I understand that surgical costs vary wildly based on a number of factors, but can anyone explain this process in a more detailed fashion or give me an over/under $2000 estimate?

Altering the tip of the nose - non-invasively
Small and subtle changes can sometimes be made to the nose with injectables such as Juviderm or Restylane. This is usually done to fill a small defect, soften a curve or augment an area. More extensive changes or any reduction in size require surgical treatment. A three dimensional evaluation by an experienced plastic surgeon is necessary to determine exactly what you need.

Tip rhinoplasty with operating room and anesthesia costs will likely be over $2000.

Improving the appearance of the nasal tip
If you wish to reduce the size of the nasal tip, surgery would be the only option. A rhinoplasty can be performed with tip work only, and a thorough assessment by a board certified rhinoplasty specialist would be recommended. He or she will be able to determine whether any additional procedures are necessary to ensure your nose is in harmony with your other facial features. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
