Cost With Combination Rhinoplasty/Chin Reduction/Submental Lipo? (photo)

You clearly have thought quite a bit about your desire for rhinoplasty, and that is excellent.   The best scenario for rhinoplasty is where a patient can clearly communicate what they would like to change about their nose.   Given only the one view of your nose, I would think the changes in your nasal profile you created should be achievable. 

Regarding the liposuction and chin reduction:  chin reduction may or may not be the best option. It is your prominent chin all bone, or is it mostly soft tissue?   Your surgeon will be able to give you your best options for your chin concerns and also advise you if liposuction is a good option for you.  You look very young and have  a nice neck contour even in your "pre" photograph.  You certainly don't have  much fat under the chin.  Depending on how your neck is put together, you may or may not be able to change that angle in your neck.  If you don't have excess fat, liposuction will not help, and might actually worsen your appearance.

Since you may or may not require all of those procedures, it is impossible to give you a price range (prices also vary across the country quite a bit).  After my consultations, all of my patients should have both a thorough understanding of my recommendations to address their concerns, and a personalized price for the procedure(s) in question.

Since you live in south Florida, I would recommend you seek consultation with a colleague of mine, Dr. Rian Maerks.  

Providing recommendations and costs for a rhinoplasty with/without a chin implant and liposuction of the neck is impossible and imprudent based on one photo and without a consultation and examination. You need to see one or more reputable board certified plastic surgeons in your desired area and then make a decision. Costs not only vary from physician to physician in an area but also in different areas and regions around the country.

Dear southrnchic479 in Miami:

It is impossible for any cosmetic plastic surgeon to give you a fee quotation based on the photos and information you provided. 

You must see a doctor in consultation before you can receive meaningful advice and, of course, a proper fee schedule.

Many factors  come into play concerning the cost of the procedure like: 


   How difficult is the rhinoplasty? 

   How much does the chin have to be reduced? 

   Is submental liposuction enough? 


Frankly, many people have submental liposuction and are disappointed because there is a lot more "hanging" besides just the superficial fat under the skin, which is the only fat that is accessible by standard liposuction techniques. 

A nasal surgeon needs to examine the inside of your nose to determine the structure and airway function.  The doctor needs to feel the cartilages to determine how strong they are.  Likewise, thickness of the skin is a factor. 

My point is that you are going to be misinformed by receiving quotations long distance without being seen by the prospective surgeon. 

Remember:  total costs of plastic surgery are not only related to just the surgeons fees, but the charges for the outpatient surgery center, hospital, or doctor's office.  Also remember there are additional fees for the services of a doctor anesthesiologist. 

Best of luck.
