How much does just a tip plasty cost?

Question

i am a mixed 18yr old and i have a slightly droopy nose. I have no humps on my nose but the tip of my nose droops down and i hate it! i find myself covering my nose when i am out in public because my nose makes me feel uncomfortable. from the profile of my nose you can see that the tip droops down slightly. i want to get only a tip plasty to lift my tip and align it with the rest of my nose. How much does that cost?

A droopy nasal tip can be more than just a large nasal tip. Many times a large dorsal nasal hump contributes significantly to a droopy nasatip itself. In this case I reduction of the nasal hump is essential to help rotate the nasal tip upwards.  That also requires low lateral osteotomies.  In essence, this becomes a forward rhinoplasty.  You need to have an evaluation to assess if only tip work will be needed or will it turned into a forward rhinoplasty.RegardsDr. J

Costs vary form one region to another (based on cost of living), and from doctor to another (based on how experienced and in-demand the plastic surgeon is).  Usually, more experienced specialists will cost more (like everything else in life).  According to national numbers, you can expect to pay anywhere from $2500 to $7000 to the surgeon for what you're thinking about.  If the operation requires you to go to a surgery center, then additional costs will apply (although many times tip-plasty can be done under local anesthesia in my own experience).Best wishes,RM

A tip rhinoplasty can be performed on the nose, but only  if the remainder of the nose is in excellent balance and the tip is out of balance. The tip of the nose can be lifted and made more narrow with a  Combination of and  cartilage grafting techniques, conservative cartilage removal and suture techniques applied to the lower lateral cartilages of the nasal tip. The far majority of patients must undergo a full rhinoplasty, not a tip rhinoplasty. For many examples, more information, and our current price list, please see the link below

Without in-person assessment or even photos, it is difficult to give adequate advice. If the appearance of your nose truly bothers you, you should consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon because the appearance of your nose can most likely be improved.All the best.

I think that you need to be seen in person to determine what might be the best solution for your nose. Best of luck.
