Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

The bump is usually made up of bone and cartilage. Therefore, usually after the bump is removed the bones have to be fractured since you have taken the " top off the tent". The cost would be according to time and the skill of the surgeon-$5-8000.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Shaving the cartilage on the nose is considered a rhinoplasty. Once the hump has been shaved your nasal sidewalls will need be narrowed. The average cost for a rhinoplasty is approximately $6,000.00, which includes the operating room, the surgeon’s fee, and the anesthesia.

Shaving down the bones or hump as well as thinning the tip are standard parts of a rhinoplasty. Because of the recession, we are providing a temporary price reduction on all cosmetic surgery of up to 40%. We also have available financing at a reasonable rate.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

The cost will depend on where you have surgery, the experience of your surgeon, and exactly what needs to be done. Get several opinions, but a rhinoplasty will cost $6000-$9000.
