How much would a nose job cost me? (Photo)

Thank you for your question regarding rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty involves straightening the nose, refining the nasal tip and improving the nasal bump. Rhinoplasty cost varies by city and even surgeon. Within the rhinoplasty fee are the usual hospital charges, surgeon's fees, and anesthesia cost. For a primary rhinoplasty cost can be between $7000 to $8000 in Texas. What is most important is that you consult with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon who is a rhinoplasty specialist. 

This is a very complex question and cannot be answered in simple terms. In general, cosmetic surgery fees have 3 components: a surgeon's fee, a facility fee (OR equipment, nursing, etc.), and an anesthesia fee. While the surgeon's fee is usually fixed, the facility fee and anesthesia varies depending on the duration of surgery. Each surgical center and hospital has a different fee schedule typically in 10-minute, 15-minute, 30-minute, or rarely 1-hour intervals. To make things a little bit more complicated, if insurance covers part of the procedure, insurance will help pay for some of the fees including the facility and anesthesia fees. Usually, this is broken down by the duration of certain steps during surgery (the cosmetic component might be 90 minutes and the patient is then responsible for 90 minutes of the procedure for all 3 fees). I suggest you see a rhinoplasty surgeon of your choice (or a few) to discuss your case in more detail and get a financial estimate. Although the financial aspect is certainly an important decision making factor, I would encourage you to not choose a given surgeon for financial reasons. Good luck!

The price of a rhinoplasty can vary significantly based on several factors. These factors include your surgeon's geographic location, amount of experience, and the techniques and time required to perform your surgery.  On average, the cost of a rhinoplasty ranges between $7000 and $14000. It is important to check with your doctor to find out what additional fees are involved, including anesthesia fees or surgical center fees.

Insurance companies usually do not pay for nasal surgery performed for cosmetic reasons. Sometimes insurance will cover surgery performed to correct post-traumatic deformities. Insurance will pay for the portion of a rhinoplasty that is done to improve your breathing, such as correcting a deviated septum or reconstructing collapsed breathing passages. Check with your physician to see if he or she accepts insurance and whether or not you are a candidate for these types of procedures.

The cost of a nose job is driven by 3 factors, which are time in the operating room, time under anesthesia, and the surgeon's fee for performing the procedure. It is best to shop quality, not price since this is your nose and it's important to get it done right the first time. Look for a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for best results. Closed rhinoplasty techniques can shave down the dorsal hump, straighten the nasal bones,  narrow and refine the tip.

Rhinoplasty can be a very reqarding procedure. It is always best to be seen in person. The fees in NYC  can range quite a bit from $5000-$15000, best of luck.

The cost for rhinoplasty like other cosmetic surgery varies considerably
across the country and even in the same area. South Florida tends to have lower
fees then more expensive areas such as New York or Los Angeles. We charge
starting at $2800 + MD Anesthesia Costs and Facility Fees for minimal rhinoplasty. Full rhinoplasty (nose surgery) will be extra.  Since you can get quality work at lower
costs, patients will travel from throughout the state, the country, and
internationally to have surgery in South Florida.

To ensure that you are receiving quality work with personalized care at the
most cost effective prices, consult with board certified plastic surgeons that
own their own nationally accredited facilities. The quality must be maintained
at the highest level to maintain accreditation. The surgeons also have
incentive to hire and train quality staff (to ensure that surgery is efficient
and enjoyable), to ensure comfortable and private facilities (to encourage
referral), and to eliminate waste (to ensure that these facilities can compete
effectively).

Looking at your photos, the cost would be around 6K which includes anesthesia and operating room costs. Different surgeons charge different amounts, depending on where you pick your surgeon. Look for a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.
