Hi, and thank you for your question. The cost of your rhinoplasty and septoplasty will depend on a number of factors including your location, your surgeon’s experience level, the amount of work you will require, and the difficulty level of your surgery. A board-certified facial plastic surgeon would need to evaluate you in-person and perform all necessary scans to determine your internal anatomy and recommend surgical options.
Since you have difficulty breathing in addition to purely cosmetic concerns, your insurance will likely cover a portion of your total costs. A cosmetic procedure performed at the same time as your septoplasty seems to make the most sense, but schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in your area for a comprehensive recommendation. Good luck!

Cost for rhinoplasty including the fee for the surgeon, surgical facility, anesthesia, and post operative care will depend on the city and surgeon. With that said it's best to set up a few consultations with different surgeons and make an informed decision based on their experience and speciality in the field. View their before and after photos to see what the outcome could potentially be.

Rhinoplasty prices vary greatly 
because the rhinoplasty procedure itself encompasses a wide range of 
techniques that can be performed to different extents.Therefore the cost
 range is pretty wide from $6000-$12,000. My recommendation is to first 
find qualified surgeons   that are board certified by the American Board
 of Plastic Surgery or the American Board of Otolaryngology. Find one or
 two surgeons you trust, then compare prices between them. Factors that 
influence the price include:
1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight 
stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctors office?
2. Type of Anesthesia -  IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a 
board certified anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist be used, or an 
RN?
     
3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best 
trained (and longest) would be a surgeon board  certified by the 
American Board of Plastic Surgery, but also consider American Board of 
Otolaryngology trained surgeons
    
4. Length and Complexity of 
Surgery - Tip Rhinoplasty only or complete rhinoplasty, open or closed 
technique, deviated septum repair,or breathing problems corrected, , how
 long, ?etc

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty.  Septoplasty and spreader grafts can be performed at the same time in order to help improve breathing and straighten your nose.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

As you have fractured your nose and have nasal deformity and nasal obstruction, you will be eligible for Medicare and Private health insurance rebates.  In general, your hospital admission and operating room fees will be paid by your insurance fund, and your surgeon's and anaesthetic fees will be partially rebated by your insurance and Medicare.  The overall  cost will depend on the level of your cover, degree of your deformity and the changes you are after.  The surgeon fee is dependent on their expertise and skill and this can be variable.  It is best to see a specialist facial plastic surgeon who specialises in rhinoplasty who would be able to address both the functional and aesthetic aspects of your nose.  Hope this is helpful.

Hello and thanks for your question and photographs. personal examination is must for accurate planning of rhinoplasty.
 from the photographs it looks like that you will benefit from septoplasty, tip sharpening ,dorsum augmentation,  alar reduction. CT SCAN  of nose will reveal internal nasal  anatomy so corrective measures can be taken for breathing improvement.
Total cost of septorhinoplasty is at Mumbai ,India with well experienced board certified plastic surgeon is approximately 2700 to 3200 USD.  
Please consult board certified  plastic surgeon and discuss.
Best of luck.
