Rhinoplasty Costs

Rhinoplasty cost

One of the most important things to consider when contemplating any type of plastic surgery is how much the procedure will cost. Because nose reshaping surgery is a highly individualized procedure, the cost of rhinoplasty will vary based on a number of factors. Discussing the cost of rhinoplasty as well as financing options with your physician prior to treatment, will help ensure that you are completely satisfied with your plastic surgery experience. With proper planning and research, receiving a nose job can be more affordable than you think.

Breakdown of Rhinoplasty Cost

Each prospective rhinoplasty patient wonders, “how much does a nose job cost?” While it is impossible to estimate the exact cost of your individual procedure, it is important to note that the cost of rhinoplasty can range from $3,000 to $8,000. There are a variety of factors that can affect the cost of the nose reshaping procedure. Ultimately, the rhinoplasty costs will depend on your individual needs and goals. The three main fees include:

Surgeon’s Fee

The surgeon’s fee is among the most variable costs associated with rhinoplasty. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the average surgeon fees for rhinoplasty in 2010 were $4,314.The amount of money that your surgeon charges will depend on the extent of the procedure as well as the surgeon’s training. Patients who are receiving revision rhinoplasty or those who are extensively altering their appearance can expect to pay more for treatment.

Anesthesia Fee

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgery, the average cost of anesthesia for any given plastic surgery procedure ranges from $1,000-$1,300. Once again, this cost is dependent on the extent of the surgery being received.

Facility Fee

Where a patient chooses to undergo nose reshaping surgery can have a significant impact on the overall cost of the procedure. The facility fees can range anywhere from $500-$2000, depending on the location of the facility, length of operation, and amount of time for post-operative care. Large cities such as New York and Los Angeles on average have both higher facility fees and surgeon fees.

Other Factors That Influence Cost

In addition to the fees listed above, there are several other factors that will influence the cost of rhinoplasty. These factors include:

  • Training of the surgeon
  • Extent of the surgery
  • Geographic Location
  • Services rendered
  • Post-operative care
  • Medications

Keep in mind that when it comes to surgery, a bargain isn’t always better. While remaining within your means when paying for cosmetic surgery is important, your health and safety should be your top priority. Although it may be tempting to choose a cheaper surgery with a less-qualified surgeon, doing so can negatively impact the results of your rhinoplasty procedure. It may also cause you to incur further costs in the event that revision rhinoplasty is needed. Though nose job/rhinoplasty prices may be intimidating, the result can be well worth the money, boosting your appearance and self-confidence.

Financing the Cost of Surgery

Considering that rhinoplasty costs can be high depending on your individual needs, you should always ask about financing options when selecting a plastic surgery practice. While some insurance companies may cover the cost of rhinoplasty when it is performed for functional benefits, most rhinoplasty procedures do not fall under health care plans. Many physicians understand that patients may not be able to pay for the full cost of the procedure in one lump sum, and offer financing options and payment plans. One common option is an installment plan arranged by your surgeon’s in-house financing program. Another financing arrangement is to use a line of credit from an outside financial institution. CareCredit® is a primary example of this type of option.

Many Patients Want to Know …

Will Insurance Cover the Cost of Rhinoplasty?

In some cases, insurance coverage may be an option to help with the cost of a rhinoplasty/nose job procedure. If your nose surgery is not for cosmetic reasons, but instead is needed to improve breathing or another medical condition, the cost may be partially or fully covered by insurance. Insurance coverage depends on your individual procedure and can be discussed in greater detail during your initial rhinoplasty consultation.

I've been told that I a really good-looking woman--great skin, eyes, smile, hair, body, etc. Once in a while--when I was modeling professionally--someone would tell me, " You know you're really pretty, but if you got you nose "fixed," you'd be gorgeous--perfect. If I were you I'd have it done." Well, I'm 58 years old now, still good-looking, according to public opinion, but no longer a model due to my age. I think the smartest thing I ever did was NOT having my nose done, that's right: not have it done. We are each born with a unique look, each with variations on perfection. I was fortunate in that I enjoyed the perks of being good-looking, but don't let anyone kid you, perfect is surely not what life is about. Your life is about what's inside your heart and your mind and soul. Next time you think about your nose being just a bit off, take a GOOD look in the mirror and instead concentrating on your imperfect nose, concentrate instead on all the good things about you that people compliment you on instead of that slightly imperfect nose given to you by God. You'll be happier in the long run. Oh, remember: once you start questioning what's not perfect on your or anyone else, the list starts to grow with every imperfect aspect that is fixed. It becomes an obsession, not who you are anymore. Good luck!

Hi, my name is Alex. I live in Toronto, ON and I have had a broken nose and a deiviated septum for over 10 years now. I am currently unemployed and would really like to get a rhinoplasty procedure done but cannot afford it. I would like to know if there is a way to get this procedure done free or at a deeply discounted price ?

Kind regards,
Alex

Rhinoplasty is something I've wanted to get for a long while now since my nose has always been curved (thanks to a slight dorsal hump and a tight pull at the tip of my nose which gives it an almost second bend). I only have two questions:

1) How much is the cost of surgery? I've been told it can range anywhere from $2000 to $8000 depending on the extent of surgery, etc., and that a fee needs to be paid for most consultations.

2) Are there payment programs I can use, or do I need to pay the price in full up front?

Regardless of whatever answers I get, I still plan on getting nose surgery eventually. The price and form of payment will only effect the time.

I have a bulbous nose and I really want to change it. I don't smile, or I generally try to hide it without being obvious because of it. I would love to have in thinner, smaller and more defined nose. The only problem is my mom is a strong believer in being happy with who you are.
