Looking for an estimate for Rhinoplasty surgery, curious also on recovery and how long I should be out of work for.
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly and a conservative dorsal hump reduction. Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Hmm. Looks like you have a drooping tip that could be elevated. See the morphs I made from your photos. Click on the "Learn more" link, just below my response, or go here: FacialSurgery.com/RealSelf/RealSelf_saratrogers.html I made a couple of computer morphs of your nose, and animations of the morphs, to show the changes that are possible for your nose in truly expert hands.The photos you posted weren't posed, and you're smiling in most of them, so they're actually not very good for making morphs. But it seems the main issues of your nose are its length, the way the tip sits a bit low, and some excess width at the tip.You might have to look at the animations to see the changes best. Seems that the changes look small in these particular poses, although I'll bet that regular posed photos would show the changes better. You should understand that the changes I demonstrated in the morph require advanced techniques, techniques that most plastic surgeons cannot handle. Be sure to read the section in the "Learn more" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon. Rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. Read that page very carefully. I'd love to hear what you think of the morph. Did it seem to address your main concerns? I could modify the morph to your taste if you wish. Your nose is also a good example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he thinks he can change, and by how much he thinks he can change them. When you see his goals, you'll know whether he has an eye for an attractive nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes an attractive nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. But remember, you're not hiring him for his skills with the computer. The doctor must then show you his before and after photos to prove that he can actually accomplish what he draws on the computer. In your case in particular, you need to find a surgeon who understands all of the issues I mentioned, and how they fit together, and who can actually accomplish them in surgery. Finally, at the *very* bottom of the "Learn more" page is a link to instructions on taking and sending photos that are comprehensive and useful for an online consultation like this, in case you'd like a more complete evaluation.

Answer: Average Cost of Rhinoplasty? Although cost is important, quality should supersede as the deciding factor. A reasonable range is from $7-15 thousand, depending on where you live and who you see. Rhinoplasty is absolutely the most complicated and demanding of facial plastic surgical procedures. Therefore, it is incumbent on the prospective patient to seek out a Rhinoplasty expert. Occasional Rhinoplasty Surgeons are more likely to be less expensive, so be diligent in your research.

Answer: What is the cost range for rhinoplasty, and how long his recovery and time off work? The cost of a rhinoplasty is directly related to the amount of time it takes to perform the procedure in a formal operating room, time monitored by an anesthesiologist under general anesthesia, and the surgeon's fees for performing the procedure in addition to all of the post- op appointments. Anticipate a cast applied across the bridge of the nose for one week, and visible bruising and swelling for two weeks.
