How much will it cost to have my nose straightened, will my eyes be black and blue? If so for how long? (photos)

Question

I was punched by my sister when I was 13 ever since then its been crooked. I went to the ER the day after it happened and they said it was not broken so I assumed it was cartilage damage. My septum is very deviated but the appearance matters more to me so I'm mainly worried about finally straightening my nose!

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

When your nose is crooked because of trauma, you usually have a great chance of getting it nice and straight. It is important to see a rhinoplasty specialist when doing this so that the inside can be fixed properly at the same time as the outside. The cost will vary depending on where you go, but will average around $6000.

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

Rhinoplasty to straighten a crooked nose involves a septoplasty, repositioning of the upper lateral cartilages, fracturing the bones and repositioning these as well.  You may suffer from bruising in the cheek area.  Costs range from $5k - $7k.  This procedure should also improve your breathing.  You can also undergo some tip work if desired to give you an optimal result.

I think you'd be a great candidate for rhinoplasty for the concerns you want to have addressed. You will be a little black and blue around the eyes for about 7 days. The cost varies in all regions of the country, and even within New Jersey. In general the cost is between 4-8k for surgeons fees. Sometimes insurance can cover some of the other work that might need to be done. Facility and anesthesia fees will depend on the functional (breathing / sinus) issues and insurance coverage. Facility and anesthesia fees are dependent on time used for the cosmetic portion.  Good luck!

Dear itslodoeCost of rhinoplasty varies by region.It routinely takes 3-4 weeks to recover from a rhinoplasty and you are likely to have bruising around your eyes for 7-10 days. Look for an expereinced surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic surgery (or Facial Plastics). Consider more than one consultation to get comprehensive information and make a good decision.
