Rhinoplasty is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures performed each year. Due to the unique complexity of the surgery, its cost can vary greatly. As an experienced facial plastic surgeon, Dr. W. Matthew White understands the intricacies of enhancing the shape of the nose to improve function and aesthetics. When a patient comes in for their rhinoplasty consultation, he strives to help them understand what they to expect from the procedure, including what the final cost may be. Dr. White emphasizes that this number can be influenced by various factors.
The complexity of a patient’s rhinoplasty is a major contributor to what they can expect to pay. For example, if the patient desires a minor change, such as slight nasal tip reshaping, this will be more affordable than if they are in need of elaborate structural work. Another aspect to consider is if prior nose surgeries were performed. When this is the case, the patient can expect a higher cost, since a more in-depth procedure may be required to improve the weakened nasal structure.
Additionally, the final rhinoplasty cost is composed of several fees, such as anesthesia, medical tests, medication, post-surgery garments, and an operating cost – all of which may vary, depending on your surgeon. Ultimately, Dr. White stresses to those considering a rhinoplasty to seek a board-certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with the procedure to ensure they are receiving high quality care in a safe environment.
