It does appear from the limited photos that you have a severely deviated nose that would most likely require Septal straightening and some cosmetic work to improve the appearance of her you nose.  It is difficult to give you exact pricing without examining you.  Part of your surgery and anesthesia may be covered by insurance and part of it is elective aesthetic work.  Surgeons fees for something like this can vary between $7000 - $12,000.  That fee is usually a global fee that will cover all of your routine postoperative care.  The length of time of the procedure will determine the anesthesia and facility costs.

It seems that the two quotes are really at the extremes for the surgery you want.  I would expect the cost to be in the $7000 to $9000 range.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The cost of a septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and turbinate reduction is really dependent upon the amount of time it takes to perform the procedure in an operating room, time monitored by an anesthesiologist under a general anesthetic, and the surgeon's professional fee for performing all 3 procedures including the postoperative visits. Functional nasal surgery is typically billed to the patient's medical insurance once medical necessity has been documented. The cosmetic rhinoplasty procedure is paid for by the patient. Shop quality, not price, since the crooked nose is a very difficult procedure and it's important to get it done right the first time.

Thank you for the question and costs vary from office to office and city to city as does the experience of your surgeon.  So go on consults, look at photos and compare fees till you find the right surgeon for you.Dr. Corbin

Hi, I have performed and taught many Rhinoplasty surgeries over the past 30 years.  As you may have discovered, costs can vary significantly based upon the Rhinoplasty Surgeon's experience, reputation and the complexity of the Rhinoplasty.  $5k seems very low, the typical cost would be around $11 - $15 k for surgeon, OR and anesthesia.  I would caution against using cost as the sole decision making factor.  Hope this helps.
