Rhinoplasty to fix droopy nose tip and cost of it? (Photos)

Rhinoplasty prices vary greatly
because the rhinoplasty procedure itself encompasses a wide range of
techniques that can be performed to different extents.Therefore the cost
range is pretty wide from $6000-$12,000. My recommendation is to first
find qualified surgeons   that are board certified by the American Board
of Plastic Surgery or the American Board of Otolaryngology. Find one or
two surgeons you trust, then compare prices between them. Factors that
influence the price include:
1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight
stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctors office?
2. Type of Anesthesia -  IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a
board certified anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist be used, or an
RN?
    
 
3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best
trained (and longest) would be a surgeon board  certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery, but also consider American Board of
Otolaryngology trained surgeons
    
 4. Length and Complexity of
Surgery - Tip Rhinoplasty only or complete rhinoplasty, open or closed
technique, deviated septum repair,or breathing problems corrected, , how
long, ?etc

Hello and thank you for your question.  Non-surgical techniques may sound easy and appealing but will not help. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can
accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your
lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement.
You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip
slightly and fix your droopy tip.  The most important aspect is
to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you
could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hi there, a rhinoplasty would be a more permanent solution to reshape your nose and prevent the nose from drooping with smile. In my experience the realself webpage is very accurate on prices. Check out the average cost on your region. Another more temporary option is to use a small amount of botox to  prevent the droop in your nose. The droop in the nose during smile happens because a muscle called depressor nasii septi pulls on your nose. With a direct injection that muscle can be selectively weakened to prevent the droop during smile. The results last 3-4 months. If for whatever reason you do not like the results, the botox would wear off.Hope this helps! Good luck
