I've searched everywhere but cannot find any nose job cases similar to mine. By looking at my pictures, can you tell me how this can be fixed? And if possible, the average cost for this procedure? What bothers me the most is the width of my nose. I'm not Asian and very few people have the nose I do from my country. From the side, it looks fine to me and i don't want to add any length to it. But how would I go about fixing the width?

Answer: Fixing a wide nose
Your nose does show features found fairly commonly in non-caucasian noses. This includes having relatively thick skin, a wide nasal base, and underprojected tip.
There are several approaches to improving these various aspects of the nose. The best method(s) depends a lot on what level of changes you are looking for. I find that improving the overall projection of the nose makes the nose appear much less wide. Narrowing the nasal bones can also be done as well. Using cartilage grafting techniques the tip can be refined at the same time.
Costs for surgery vary dramatically based on the region of the country, surgeon experience, length of surgery. Total costs in the $5000-10000 are about average but can be even higher. This isn't an area where I would suggest looking for a bargain, though. This is your face afterall.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Cost The price of a rhinoplasty can vary significantly based on several factors. These factors include your surgeon's geographic location, amount of experience, and the techniques and time required to perform your surgery. On average, the cost of a rhinoplasty ranges between $7000 and $14000. It is important to check with your doctor to find out what additional fees are involved, including anesthesia fees or surgical center fees Insurance companies usually do not pay for nasal surgery performed for cosmetic reasons. Sometimes insurance will cover surgery performed to correct post-traumatic deformities. Insurance will pay for the portion of a rhinoplasty that is done to improve your breathing, such as correcting a deviated septum or reconstructing collapsed breathing passages. Check with your physician to see if he or she accepts insurance and whether or not you are a candidate for these types of procedures.
