Rhinoplasty cost in bay area? (photos)

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

Dear Sarah650,The goals that you are looking for are realistic and achievable.It is best to have an in-person consultation so we can examine you and show you morphs of what is possible.When you are ready, please visit a rhinoplasty specialist who can address your concerns and answer your question. The cost of rhinoplasty depends on the doctor and the location. Please base  your selection of the surgeon on the experience and not the cost. Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Thank you for the question.  In the Bay it ranges from maybe $10k up to $25,000.  My personal/professional favorite in the area would be Umang Metha, MD as well as David Lieberman, MD and Sachin Parihk, MD.  Hope that helps.  Focus on the body of work and the information you receive in the consultation. . .not the price of the procedure.Chase Lay MD
