I Have a Broken Nose, How Much Will It Cost? (photo)

To improve your nose  major Rhinoplasty surgery. This is best done in the hands of an experienced Board Certified PS, preferably through a closed technique. It's a complex issue that does not have an easy solution. You do have the potential to have a much more aesthetic nose- in the right hands. Remember, price shopping in Plastic Surgery is not recommended. The  best results are achieved in the hands of the most qualified Surgeon. 

The combination of rhinoplasty and septoplasty is a commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedure.  Prices for this procedure vary widely and depend upon several variables.  It’s important to make sure that your fee quote includes the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, anesthesia charges, and pre and post-operative care.  These components may vary widely depending upon the surgeons practice.
            Generally, surgeons who operate in dedicated outpatient cosmetic surgery facilities are able to offer lower facility fees than those who operate in hospital based practices.  Anesthesia fees can vary and this may be related to the use of a nurse anesthetist versus a physician anesthesiologist.

            Finally, the physicians’ fee may vary depending upon regional differences and local competition.  It’s also important to understand the surgeons’ revisional surgery policies.  Hopefully this won’t be necessary but revisions occur for a multitude of reasons.

            When all these variables are considered, fees in the midwestern United States vary from $6,000 to $9,000.  It’s important to remember that price is an important part of your decision, but it’s not the only consideration.  Make sure your surgeon is board certified and has a good reputation and experience performing rhinoplasty.

Pricing varies depending on the surgeon and city where they are. It can also depend on the type of rhinoplasty you want and the extent of correction required. In Toronto, Ontario, it ranges from $8000-$10000. Your insurance provider may cover some of the cost. There is no nonsurgical option.

Hi Angie20,

The cost of repairing a crooked nose and deviated nasal septum caused by a nasal fracture varies anywhere from $6000 to as high as $20,0000.  It depends on the surgeon, geographic location, operating room fees, and anesthesia fees.    Unfortunately it cannot be repaired non-surgically.  Though cost should not be the determining factor in choosing your rhinoplasty surgeon, you should be able to find a competent rhinoplasty surgeon to fix your nose for less than $12,000.  It is veery important to make sure that youi choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully, it's your nose for the rest of your life.  Good luck and be well.

Rhinoplasty cost for the broken nose varies with the skill of the surgeon and the time and difficulty of the work. Your cost for this should be about $7500-$10,000 from an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. You can shop price but if you go to our website you will see many examples of noses done by other surgeons where the patient shopped price--not quality.

You're estimate of $6-7k is right on for my practice.  Actually, it would probably be slightly lower assuming there is a functional component (septoplasty) that would be covered by insurance.  Your nose cannot be fixed non-surgically. 

First off, there is no non-surgical option to correct your nasal issues. A septorhinoplasty can be performed to improve your nasal breathing and to change the shape of your nose. The cost varies widely by region and surgeon but a typical range is $5000-10,000. I do agree that the $12,000 quote does seem high for a relatively straight-forward procedure. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

The functional trauma that you sustained should be covered by insurance, the degree to which depends on your policy. Purely cosmetic rhinoplasty ranges from 6-10k, depending on where you live. Your photos help tell the story and you would be best served by a rhinoplasty surgery. Better stated, non-surgical treatments would be very limited and a poor return on your investment. Please consult with a surgeon who specializes in the treatment of the face and in particular the nose.

 

Be healthy and be well,

Good question. I see the deviation and it's possible it may have been from the trauma as you describe. I would recommend fixing the septum and straightening the nose overall. The septoplasty would likely be covered by insurance and cover some of your costs. The nose itself may cost anywhere from about 5-20k depending on location, surgeon, other costs, etc. I would encourage you to meet with another surgeon you trust to see if his or her pricing is a bit different and more to your liking, but ultimately important to choose based on trust more than price.

The cost for a rhinoplasty  includes the operating room, anesthesia, and surgeon’s fee.  A deviated septum causing breathing issues is a medically related issue and is billed to the patient’s insurance.  The procedures can both be done at the same time, however, the patient is responsible for the cosmetic portion of the surgery and the medically related portion is submitted to the patient’s insurance.  This would be impossible to fix non-surgically.
