How Much Will I Save if I Do Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty at the Same Time?

It is hard to say how much money you might save by combining an otoplasty and rhinoplasty, because there are many variables that are specific to the surgeon and the surgery center they use. However, it is safe to say, you will likely save money by combining these procedures. In most cases, the biggest facility expense is during the first 1 hour. By combining the cases, you would bypass this initial expense. Adding 1 -2 hour to an ongoing case is much less expensive than scheduling a 1-2 hour case. In general, for short cases like a rhinoplasty and otoplasty, it is typically better to combine them. Not only do you save money on the facility end, but you only have 1 downtime.
Best of luck,

Thank you for your question. Prices vary depending on location and surgeon but both procedures combined will be more cost efficient due to the anesthesia fees. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are. 

You will save yourself two recuperation times and some money on anesthesia and facility fees. The main reason is to save yourself from two anesthesias and two recovery times. The monetary savings are not that much.

It is possible to combine rhinoplasty with other procedures such as a otoplasty (ear reshaping) or blepharoplasty (eye lift) or other procedures. The benefit is that you only have to take time off from work or school for one recovery period.
Each facility and physician structures their fees differently. Some physicians may provide a discount on additional procedures. Anesthesia and OR costs may be slightly higher for combined procedures as opposed to a single procedure, but should be significanly less than the fees if both procedures were performed separately at separate times.

IT is not unusual to have these two procedures combined and that is a reasonable combination. You will also save some money by combining the procedures but it is difficult to say what this amounts to.
