I'm 17…what would the cost of a Rhinoplasty consultation with a plastic surgeon be?

Dear Q12345, Fees vary depending on which surgeon you are consulting with. Typically, cosmetic consultation fees are around $125, and be sure to ask when booking if the fee will then be applied to the cost surgery if you decide to go ahead with the rhinoplasty. Best of luck!

Rhinoplasty prices vary greatly
because the rhinoplasty procedure itself encompasses a wide range of
techniques that can be performed to different extents.Therefore the cost
range is pretty wide from $6000-$12,000. My recommendation is to first
find qualified surgeons   that are board certified by the American Board
of Plastic Surgery or the American Board of Otolaryngology. Find one or
two surgeons you trust, then compare prices between them. Factors that
influence the price include:
1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight
stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctors office?
2. Type of Anesthesia -  IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a
board certified anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist be used, or an
RN?
    
 
3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best
trained (and longest) would be a surgeon board  certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery, but also consider American Board of
Otolaryngology trained surgeons
    
 4. Length and Complexity of
Surgery - Tip Rhinoplasty only or complete rhinoplasty, open or closed
technique, deviated septum repair,or breathing problems corrected, , how
long, ?etc

The consultation fee for a rhinoplasty surgery
can vary greatly from doctor to doctor. Some surgeons offer complimentary
consultations free of charge, while others can charge up to $400 for the
appointment (many times this fee is applied to the cost of your surgery should
you choose that doctor). The location and popularity of the surgeon are some
factors that may influence the cost of the consultation. Contact the offices of
the surgeons you are considering directly to inquire about the consultation
fees and to get a better idea of what to expect.

Different doctors charge different consultation fees.  My consultation fee is $100.  You are paying for the doctors time to inform you fully about the best options for you to correct what is bothering you.  You should consider that time valuable.  Your parents would need to sign your consent form and so should be involved in the consultation.

Varies depending on location and surgeon. Call the office your interested in ahead of time and go with your parents or guardian for the consult. You can find a good surgeon from those listed by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Look on the websites of those your interested in and view their before and after pictures to see the quality of their work.Cheers

   Sometimes the consultations are free.  I would involve your parents as they will have to provide consent.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
