I was recently quoted for a rib graft rhinoplasty at 15,000 plus 900 for a mandatory overnight stay at post surgical recovery hotel (with a nurse). (Beverly Hills plastic surgeon) Is this a reasonable price? Is an overnight stay at a medical facility necessary? What factors come into play for a procedure like this that will increase/decrease the price? My personal needs: dorsal augmentation, minimal tip projection and no alarplasty. *currently have juvederm filler (injected 2/2014)
Answer: Rib grafts Rib grafts for Asian rhinoplasty is a loser of a procedure. They often look unnatural and the cost is ridiculous. I can see refining your tip and narrow the nostrils with alar resections. It will give you nice refinement at a much lower cost. I would forget about trying to build up your basal bridge.

Answer: What factors come into play for a procedure like rib graft that will increase/decrease the price? I would use septal or ear cartilage rather than rib. This would negate the overnight stay. Cost is always hard to judge. The price is not unreasonable.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
