How Much Would Just Alar and Tip Plasty Cost, Not a Full Rhinoplasty?

Question

The bridge and length of my nose is ideal, however my tip is quite bulbous and my nostrils are a bit wide. I have medium thick skin also. I already posted a picture on here for a different question if my nose and the answers consisted if me only needing tip and alar plasty, not a full rhinoplasty. I know every surgeon is different, but what would you charge in total for only a tip and alar plasty?

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

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 cost for a tip plasty and alar plasty will probably be similar to rhinoplasty costs posted.  The tip by itself can be the most challenging part of the nose.  The alarplasty is not usually particularly difficult, but neither is dorsal hump reduction.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing your pictures – you should consider posting images showing your areas of concern

There is not a set price for all rhinoplasties because each surgery is individualized, but I would estimate that the cost of your limited tip operation will be $2,000-3,000 less than a full rhinoplasty.
