How can I get rhinoplasty for free or low cost?

HI Viv,Many residency training programs at university hospitals will perform rhinoplasty for low cost.  Make sure that the hospital has trained, board certified professors or rhinoplasty surgeons supervising the resident at the time of surgery.  Otherwise it is best to wait until you can afford the cost of rhinoplasty without having cost be the determining factor.  It is alot more expensive to have revsion rhinoplasty.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Most qualified surgeons will not perform rhinoplasty for free. However, many residency teaching programs have availability to have rhinoplasty performed by the residents or fellows at a significant discount. Otherwise, you can always finance your procedure if you can get a co signer for the account.

A “witch nose” May have an appearance with a pointy and droopy nasal tip along with a profile bump. You may also have thin nasal skin.  Rhinoplasty surgery for tip rotation and repair of such a nasal appearance is difficult.  In that regard, the expertise of your surgeon would be imperative for achieving a desired result.  I would suggest you save your funds for rhinoplasty surgery if this is something that is very important in your life.  A bargain rhinoplasty with a lackluster result may lead to a worse situation than you have now.  While you are saving, you can start to research rhinoplasty specialists near you.  You may consider carecredit for interest free financing,  or asking a family member for a loan.  We may offer discounts in our practice based on patients’ social and financial situations,  so it doesn’t hurt to ask, if you find a specialist you are comfortable with.  Hope this is helpful.
