How Much Do Rhinoplasty Prescriptions Cost?

Question

I'm getting rhinoplasty soon and I'm wondering how much I need to budget for prescriptions. Even just a ballpark number would be great. I've never had to get prescriptions before.

Larry S. Nichter, MD, MS, FACS · Answer

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

You will probably get an antibiotic and a pain medication.  This may be much less than $100 but obviously depends upon a number of factors.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
