Average Revision Rhinoplasty Cost with the Same Doctor?

Except when its performed by the same surgeon. Then it is usually less than the original price. Often the surgeon will not charge his/her fee but the usual facility charge and anesthetic fees will apply. This is because the revision work is usually a 'touch up'. If the nose needs to be significantly reconstructed, usually there has been a break down in the patient confidence and a new surgeon is selected for the revision work.

The cost for revision rhinoplasty surgery from the same surgeon should be significantly less than going to another surgeon. Typically, most rhinoplastic surgeons will discount their fees in order to perform a revision. Going elsewhere could cost you almost double what your original fee was. As far as nasal bone collapse, this can sometimes occur after rhinoplasty and may be a simple straightforward procedure to repair. I hope this information helps.

The cost of revision rhinoplasty can vary significantly depending on what needs to be done to correct the problems with the nose. Sometimes a revision is a minor undertaking and can be accomplished in the office with local anesthetic. Most surgeons will correct imperfections that weren't adequatelty addressed or arose from the original surgery for their own patients at no additional charge. This is something that varies from practice to practice.
If you are seeking a complete "re-do" by another surgeon, the cost can range from $6,000 to $25,000. With major structural deformities, cartilage grafts are required to rebuild the nasal framework. Septal cartilage, while the preferred source of cartilage grafts, has usually been depleted during the first operation. Revision Rhinoplasty Surgeons then have to "borrow" cartilage from another part of the body - such as the ear or rib. This increases the operative time and cost.
