Is $4000 too high for an alar base reduction surgery with a triple board certified plastic surgeon?

Dante3519
I went for a consultation in Atlanta, GA for an alar base reduction. The doctor mentioned weirs, sills and coapt suture. I was quoted $4000 just for the surgery, not including any other fees like anesthesia. I have found that the typical price for this type of procedure is anywhere between $2000 - $3000 (from research and other doctors). The doctor I saw is triple board certified in plastic, reconstructive and laser surgery.....if that makes a difference. Is this price unreasonably high?
