Do you have to pay for a consultation in order to get a rhinoplasty? Do you have to pay just for the doctor to look at your nose talk about possibilities?
Answer: Fee or Free for Rhinoplasty Consultation. Practices vary in whether they charge for a consultation or not. We DO charge a nominal fee for the consultation and it gets applied toward your surgery if you decided to proceed.By charging a consultation fee, I can be more confident that the patient I'm seeing is giving surgery the serious consideration it deserves and that their visit with me is not something done on impulse. It's not like we do this to make money with these small consultation fees (and remember, the fee goes toward the surgery anyway), but it does act as a barrier to those who have no real intention of having surgery, thus freeing up appointment availability for properly motivated patients.All the best,--DCPPearson Facial Plastic Surgery®

Answer: Do you have to pay for a consultation in order to get a rhinoplasty? In most cases, yes. Some surgeons will offer free consultations but if their time has no value it should make you wonder. It is critical to find the right rhinoplasty surgeon for you. It's definitely worth paying a consult fee to meet with your desired surgeon. Consult fees are typically a minor fraction of the $6000-10,000 you will pay for surgery and they are worth every penny. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Rhinoplasty consultation...medical vs cosmetic If you are seeing a PS for a cosmetic rhinoplasty in many cases, the consultation is complimentary. If you have a breathing problem and wish to have this corrected, this is a medical evaluation and is billable either to you or your insurance company. There is a gray zone when your PS examins the internal part of the nose and finds a breathing problem and makes you aware of it....that could be considered a medical evaluation.

Answer: Payment for rhinoplasty consultation In our practice, which urged her consultation for a rhinoplasty procedure because we spend over an hour with the patient discussing their expectations regarding the rhinoplasty procedure. Patient spend at least 30 minutes with the physician, and 30 minutes of patient care coordinator performing computer imaging and sometimes spent another 30 minutes with nurse going through the preoperative and postoperative instructions. Most busy and experienced rhinoplasty surgeons charge for consultations. Rhinoplasty is one of the hardest operations to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so choose your surgeon based on extensive experience and results, and not over a free consultation
