How much would a nose job and chin reduction cost for me? (Photo)

Question

I really don't like my side profile especially when I smile I think my chin is too long and prominent and I don't like the bump in my nose or that my nose has a bump under my nostrils

Elliot M. Heller, MD · Answer

Every doctor is different so you would have to call around and get pricing. Most doctors do the free consultation and then you can ask and have them evaluate you nose and chin and see what works better for you.

Your chin projection looks fine at rest and I would probably not treat the chin.  A rhinoplasty is certainly reasonable.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The cost of a rhinoplasty is determined by the amount of time it takes to perform the procedure in an  operating room, time under anesthesia, and the surgeon's professional fee for performing the rhinoplasty. The dorsal hump can be shaved down, and the bridge and tip narrowed to balance the nose. The chin projection looks acceptable at rest, so best to leave it well enough alone.  A closed rhinoplasty approach to accomplish your goals. For many examples and our current price list, please see the link and the video below

thanks for the question. i understand your concern, hope to explain and you to understand. your chin is perfect , i always suggest my patients to put a finger vertically (as if you where to say silence) not the tip till the chin, that has to be an imaginary straight line. And for what i can see on the picture its perfect.the nose, yes you have a small bump and can be fixed, as well as near the tip, a frontal picture would've helped to determine if the tip is slightly fallen. price varies between doctors and even counties.here in Dominican Republic is a package we include all the costs. goes from 4000-5000us good luck!

Rose1333, no one can answer your questions reliably based on your photos alone. In general it does appear you would benefit from a rhinoplasty. As far as you chin goes I have performed many chin shaves over the years for woman with chins that are too manly in their appearance. This would require an exam. Seek the opinion of several facial plastic specialists with years of experience. Don't recommend a sliding genioplasty so would avoid that. Good luck!

R. Stephen Mulholland, MD (retired) · Answer

Dear Rose1333,

Thank you for your clinical post and photograph.  From the photographs that you have provided
there is a slight nasofacial imbalance with a strong dorsal hump to the nose
and a slight hanging columella.  There
was no front view provided so one cannot comment on the relative length of your
nose, proportion to the forehead and chin from the front view nor on the width
of the tip or bridge.  Your chin itself
is strong but not over projected especially in repose when you are not
smiling.  I’ve been performing
rhinoplasty and chin and facial skeleton surgery for over 20 years.  I was fortunate to be trained in both plastic
surgery and ear, nose throat, head and neck oncology. I find that computer imaging helps patients
visualize the type of improvements they are likely to achieve.  After almost two decades I’m very good at achieving
very close to the computer imaging that we discuss.  In general, I think a reduction rhinoplasty
with a reduction of the bridge are an improvement in your hanging columella,
what you call a bump under the nostrils and a probable narrowing of the nasal
tip and bridge will provide much more feminine nasofacial contours.  I don’t believe following this you feel that
your chin is over projected, however, could certainly perform a reduction
genioplasty or chin reduction once your nasofacial contour and proportion has
settled usually at one year.  This stage
approach is more conservative, prevents unnecessary surgery and more important
aesthetic errors in judgment on chin, cheek, nose and face balance.

The range of reduction rhinoplasty prices in the city often
reflects the experience and the reputation of the physician, but in general
reduction of the nasal bridge as well as the tip with shortening will cost
between $6,000.00 and $8,000.00 in most practices.  As the nose is reduced breathing surgery will
often need some adjustment and a septoplasty or improvement in breathing needs
to be performed at the same time.  Some
physicians still perform the septoplasty in a hospital environment and your
anesthetic is covered, however, you’ll still have to pay the surgeon between
$3,500.00 and $5,000.00.  This part in
and out of OHIP approach is less common than it used to be, but some physicians
still rely on reducing the cost of the patient by burdening the Ontario Health
Insurance Plan with the functional component of the surgery.

I hope this information has been of some assistance and best
of luck.
