How much does a radix graft cost?

RoryFisherApr 23, 2014
I understand that no one can really estimate the cost of a rhinoplasty, but I was just wondering if a radix graft was generally more expensive than other procedures, such as removing a hump. Does it require separate procedures? Some general info would be great. thanks a lot!
