The experience and technical ability of the surgeon will be evident in the cost.

Surgical fees vary widely.  Your problem may not be best corrected with the graft that you are discussing.  I recommend you seek consultation with a qualified facial plastic surgeon or general plastic surgeon to provide treatment recommendations.Best wishes

Without a proper evaluation, it's difficult to make any recommendations on improving one sided alar retraction.  The amount of retraction will determine how much grafting is needed and whether or not the results you seek can be achieved.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek. 3-dimensional computer imaging can help you visualize what you may look like afterwards and serve as an important communication tool with your surgeon.

The cost of any type of rhinoplasty procedure is dependent directly upon the amount of time it takes to perform the procedure in operating room( not a clinic), time under anesthesia, and the surgeon's professional fee for performing the procedure.  Correction of alar retraction is very difficult, and is best  performed  by a surgeon very experienced in rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty.

That actually is not a simple question as the specifics really matter. Without seeing photos and knowing what, if any, other nose surgery you have had, a plan cannot be decided upon. However, IF....it was a straightforward harvesting of the cartilage graft from the ear with straightforward placement in the ala, with reasonable predictability of success....then in my office this would start at $2500 under local anesthesia.

The cost of the grafting including the harvesting iof the graft, operating room and sedation would be approximateky $3,500-$5,000.
