Cost to Make My Nose Symmetrical?

The cost to straighten and make the nose more symmetrical will be dependent on the skill and experience of the surgeon as well as how much time it will take.

The cost of a rhinoplasty operation is approximately $6000, which includes the operating room, anesthesia, and surgeon’s fee. The procedure is done under general anesthesia in an outpatient ambulatory surgery center. Expect a cast on the nose for a week, possible bruising for two weeks and visible swelling for a month following the procedure. Any asymmetries can be addressed at the time of the procedure.  

Dear Pymble in Pymble,

The best move is to have a consultation with a surgeon who is very specialized in cosmetic nasal surgery.

Perhaps it is a deviated septum? Only the exam will tell. Or maybe it is not; internal surgery may not be necessary.

It may be that filling injections could solve your problem. Office procedure. No down time.

Regarding fees, very hard to quote fees without seeing the problem and deciding what works. Hard to price a house until you see, walk through it, etc.

Best wishes.
