What are average rhinoplasty cost? Does the price of a nose job vary by state like some other plastic surgeries?
According to real patient reviews on RealSelf, the price can range from just $4,150 to $23,000
Thanks for the question. The cost of a rhinoplasty varies quite significantly. First, it depends on what you need done and how extensive it is. Second, it depends on the surgeon. Things that can effect a surgeon's cost include: practice location, surgeon's experience, etc. Third, it depends on whether any part of the rhinoplasty is covered by insurance. Every surgeon is different - but some surgeons may accept insurance to cover a part of the rhinoplasty if it is for a functional purpose (ex. difficulty breathing). In that case, the septoplasty portion (removing part of the septum) may be covered by insurance. Keep in mind, insurance approval is completely variable and dependent on your insurance plan and whether or not the surgeon accepts insurance. I would advise focusing on quality and not just the money aspect.
Cost of rhinoplasty is made up of surgical fees, theatre/ bed fees from the hospital and anaesthetic cost. The surgical fee will vary depending on the complexity and estimated time in theatre (eg a revision is likely to be more time consuming and expensive). As a guide in Victoria surgical fees are 10- 20K.
Thank you for your question!Rhinoplasty is a complex procedure that can involve both functional and cosmetic components. Due to the complexity, pricing varies a lot between provider to provider, state to state, and even from patient to patient. Most rhinoplasties fall within a range of $7,500-15,000. Revision rhinoplasty can be more expensive due to the challenges and complexity associated with those cases. Some providers will accept insurance to cover the function portion of a rhinoplasty case, such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction, or nasal valve repair. I hope this helps!All the best,Dr. GDominick J Gadaleta, MDFacial Plastic SurgeonDG Facial Plastic SurgeryPalo Alto, CA
