Deviated Septum and Rhinoplasty Combined Surgery Costs?

It is hard to say how much the cosmetic portion would cost without seeing your nose. There are also wide variations in fees based on your region in the country. As a rough estimate I suspect the cosmetic portion would be about $4500-9000, including operating room and anesthesia fees. This doesn't include your co-pay for the insurance side, though.

The OR, anesthesia and surgeon's cost are based on the amount of time required.  OR time and anesthesia time is approximately $1,000 an hour and the surgeon's time is about $2,000 an hour.  If an additional hour is required then it would be $3,000 more.

Combining a cosmetic rhinoplasty with a septoplasty can save you some money but the costs can vary significantly depending on a number of factors. The key is to know up,front how much out of pocket you will be responsible for so that there are no surprises, such as a huge hospital bill after the fact.  You will almost certainly be best off having it done in a surgeon's office surgicenter where you can find out from the doctor's office what you will be responsible for.  Most hospitals are wise to the idea of trying to have insurance pay for part of the cosmetic procedure and may even ask for money in advance, somdon't try to beat them at their own game.  It could be expensive.
