Get Plastic Surgery at a Lower Cost by a Resident at a University?

The learning curve on rhinoplasty is very gradual and it easily takes 10+ years to reach a level of mastery to produce consistently good results.  I would rank rhinoplasty as the LAST cosmetic procedure you would want to have done by a resident

Rhinoplasty is one of the trickiest and least forgiving surgeries invented by man. Since the nose is small, there can be only one surgeon, and since it's the centerpiece of your face, consider having the expert do your surgery, and then continue with a year of necessary follow-up visits.

Because blepharoplasty is such a varied procedure, the cost also varies. Factors which contribute to the cost of eyelid surgery include:Type and extent of surgerySurgeon’s feeFacility feeAnesthesia feeMedicationFor approximate costs by University , contact the plastic surgery or eye surgery departments directly and ask for a residents clinic

Yes, it is possible to have a nose job performed by a resident surgeon who is under the watch of an attending surgeon. However, with a rhinoplasty procedure, you often get what you pay for; $1,000 is an extremely low price to be paying for such a complicated procedure and a nose job is not an area where you want to cut corners in terms of financial savings. Your nose is the most central feature of your face so, in my opinion, it may be better to seek the expertise of a more experienced, seasoned surgeon.

It is a great idea to contact a University for the cost of surgery by a resident under the guidance of an experienced plastic surgeon.  The cost can be signifincatly lower.
