While surgery for a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates will generally be covered by insurance, some patients do not have insurance or would prefer not to use it. Pricing is very difficult to say for certain and will vary widely based on the surgeon, the facility, and type of anesthesia. In my practice, we might perform this surgery in a hospital or surgery center under general anesthesia or in my private surgical suite under IV sedation. In either case, the patient would be asleep and very comfortable, but the costs can vary widely, and would even vary from one hospital or surgical center to another. I suspect you are looking at somewhere in the $3,000 - $6,000 range, but again, this is only an estimate and can vary widely.Be sure to see an expert.Best,
Thank you for your questions. There is a surgery center in Oklahoma City that has "out the door" pricing on a number of non-cosmetic surgical procedures for self paying patients. Here is the link. I hope this helps.
The cost of a septoplasty and turbinate surgery is determined by 3 fees. These are time under anesthesia, time in the operating room, and the surgeon's fee for performing the procedure. A septoplasty and turbinate surgery is performed for medical necessity and is usually billed the patient's medical insurance. A septoplasty will not change the shape of the nose.

It is possible for a corrected septum to move after surgery, but it depends on how the septoplasty was done and what part of your septum was deviated. In most cases, the cartilage and bone of the septum inside your nose is considered "extra" and is physically removed in surgery. In that case,...
If you have an acceptable functional result, I would advise no additional surgery till at least 1 year post op. It may be possible to do a limited revision to shave down the widened area without compromising the nasal valve repair, or camoflaging it with a narrower onlay cartilage graft. I...
Hi bonfunkjc1. Thanks for your question. A septoplasty involves removing the deviated septal cartilage on the inside of your nose only. Any deviations in the nasal bridge or any nasal valve collapse can only be repaired by a septorhinoplasty. Good luck. Best, Dr H
