Approximate rhinoplasty cost in Orange County or near it for me? (Photo)

Fees for rhinoplasty including the fee for the surgeon, surgical facility, anesthesia, and post operative care will depend on the city and surgeon. With that said it's best to set up a few consultations with different surgeons and make an informed decision based on their experience and speciality in the field. View their before and after photos to see what the outcome could potentially be. 

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 of Rhinoplasty will vary based on your geography and the experience/proficiency of the surgeon. While it's not necessarily true in rhinoplasty you get what you pay for, typically the top surgeons in a given geographic will command the higher surgeon fees. As a patient it's important to do your due diligence in researching rhinoplasty specialists to determine which prices are reasonable, and which really are "too good" to be true.

As you said you need to shop quality with very experienced rhinoplasty surgeons rather than cost--the price of needing a revision if the first rhinoplasty is cheap is not worth it! See several experienced rhinoplasty surgeons and we can discuss financing.

The cost of a rhinoplasty is directly related to the  time it takes to perform the procedure in a formal operating room, time monitored under anesthesia by a physician anesthesiologist, and the surgeon's fee for performing the procedure in addition to all of the post operative follow-up appointments.  For more information, many examples and our current price list, please see the link and the video below

Based on your pictures, an open tip rhinoplasty will be required to improve the contour of your nose. The cost of this procedure will depend on whether you will need a graft to the upper part of your nose where you have the small divot (this is called the Radix); open rhinoplasty cost ranges between 7 to 12K.

Thank you for the question and I would go on complimentary consultations with experts in your area and compare recommendations and fees, look at photos of similar patients and find your surgeonDr Corbin

The cost of a rhinoplasty can vary depending on what I do from 2500 to 7000. Also, we do offer excellent financing even for someone with bad credit(500). Finally, if that won't work we offer in house financing. 

Thank you for your question.  When seeking a surgeon to perform your rhinoplasty, it is important to make sure they are Board Certified and a member of The Rhinoplasty Society.  This will ensure the best results possible so that you will achieve the look you want.  Seeking a less experienced surgeon could result in costly revisions down the road.  Schedule consultations with doctors in your area that specialize in Rhinoplasty.  Read the reviews and look at before and after photos. During your consultation you will receive a cost estimate.  Many practices do offer financing options which still may be worth exploring.

You do appear to be a good candidate for a cosmetic rhinoplasty but do need to select your plastic surgeon wisely.  Meet with several in your area to find a doctor who shows you photos and give you a sense of confidence.  Cost estimates will be most accurate once you have been examined but can probably be obtained on the phone if you call individual offices.  Best wishes,Jon A Perlman M.D., FACSDiplomate, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)ABC-TV Extreme Makeover SurgeonBeverly Hills, CaliforniaIG: jonperlmanmd
