Rhinoseptoplasty with turbinate reduction cost? (Photo)

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.

 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.  

Thank you for your question.  Without an in person consultation and exam it is difficult to give you the cost for your procedure.  Most consultations are complimentary and very informative.  You can ask all the questions you want and gather all of the information you need to make an informed decision.  Their are different factors that go into the cost of the surgery such as experience, time and even location.  It is always best to go on a few consultations and choose the surgeon you feel most comfortable with.Best of luck,Dr. Peter Newen

The cost of this procedure will vary between $9,000-12,000 depending on what has to be done and the experience of the surgeon. While we are all concerned about cost, work with a surgeon who has experience with this work; a revision will cost a lot of additional money.

Dear Deviatedseptumturbinatered, I perform septorhinoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery typically three to four times a week and it is a very rewarding procedure for patients who want aesthetic changes as well as functional improvement in their noses. A septorhinoplasty is a combined procedure. The "septo" portion addressing the functional aspects of the nose and the "rhinoplasty" portion addressing the aesthetic changes.  The consultation appointment is complimentary, after the consultation and examination then a surgical fee is given this will be broken down into a surgery fee, operating room fee and anesthesia fee. The special I run for real self patient's is $6000.00. There are no charges for any post operative visits. If you have insurance then they may cover the portion of the procedure that is functional. You will be required to have pre-operative lab work and  post operative medications which will total approximately $150.00. If billing insurance there is a $65.00 fee for the the pathology.  Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
