Question

I'm originally from SF, but currently living in Southern California. I am going to use a nor cal based doctor for this surgery so my mother can take care of me. I need recommendations and price. I know the price varies, I have no prior nose surgeries or nose problems. I only want a swoop and not as wide in the look. I don't want the tip touched. Any suggestions!? Thank you.

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 might check the Rhinoplasty Society for recommended surgeons in the Bay area.  It will list both plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons who have met certain criteria for admission.

A closed rhinoplasty approach can address shaving down the dorsal hump and narrowing the bridge line, with all of the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. There are many excellent rhinoplasty surgeons in Northern California. Look for a surgeon who has dedicated a significant component of their practice to the discipline of rhinoplasty, performs them often on a weekly basis, and has an extensive portfolio of before-and-after photos in their rhinoplasty  photo gallery. The cost of a rhinoplasty is directly determined by the amount of time it takes to perform the procedure in an outpatient surgery center, the amount of time monitored under anesthesia by a physician anesthesiologist, and the surgeon's professional fees for performing the surgery itself, and all the post operative followup appointments. For more information, many examples and our current price list, please see link and video below

Costs for rhinoplasty surgery can vary depending on a number of factors including whether the procedure is preformed under local or general anesthesia, but usually is in the $6,000 to $8,000 range in the Bay Area.  There are a number of well qualified, board certified, plastic surgeons and ENT surgeons in the area who should be able to perform your procedure.  Check with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons or the American Academy of Otolarngology for surgeons in your area.  Best wishes, Dr Lepore.
