Average Rhinoplasty Cost at Chevy Chase Area?

Question

I am looking to get the procedure done in the Chevy Chase area.  But I do not know how to finance or save for the procedure.  Thank you.

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

Thank you for the question.
In our practice, we use Care Credit as well as other companies; they have been used by our patients with no problems.  They do have different rates so please make sure you get all of the information you need prior to signing up with any financing company.
Generally speaking, it is always in patients' best interests to achieve a certain degree of financial stability prior to undergoing elective surgery of any type. Patients should also keep in mind that additional surgery may be necessary in the short or long term, following the primary procedure that is being performed;  this additional surgery may be associated  out-of-pocket expenses. Again, best to achieve a physical, emotional, psychosocial, and financial “stable state” prior to considering elective plastic surgery. Best wishes.

Pricing varies depending on the surgeon and the city in which they're located. It's best to check out websites of surgeons as a price list may be on their site. Financing is available.

Dear Monique,
You may want to check carecredit.com, and find participating board-certified physicians. You can see if you're pre-approved with an on-line application, then go for several consultations.
Best regards.

CareCredit is the most reputable 3rd party financing company in the country.  Check their physician locator for surgeons within a driving distance from you.  Consult with 2 - 3 surgeons and you will be able to identify one with the requisite expertise and understanding of your needs who can hopefully fit into your budget.
