One of the top cosmetic procedures in the United States is rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is performed to reshape the nose. A rhinoplasty can alter the size, shape, bridge, tip, or nostrils of the nose thus enhancing the face and making the nose more proportionate. In some cases, a rhinoplasty can also be used to treat respiratory problems, though this will be determined on a case to case basis.
Are You a Candidate For Rhinoplasty?
If you have been considering rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons you may be a candidate, and there are several factors to consider. One of the first things your doctors will determine is if you have realistic expectations for the outcome of the potential surgery. Without realistic expectations it’s impossible to undergo the surgery. A realistic outcome means that you don’t come in saying you want an identical nose to a celebrity or model when it may not “fit” your face. One of the most important elements our doctors will look at is the shape of your face, your chin and overall bone structure. The outcome will have to be based on that so that the nose is in harmony with your other features.
Rhinplasty Cost
The cost of your surgery will depend on several factors so it’s quite difficult to give a general price quote without first seeing you for a consultation and evaluating you and your goals. For example, a revision rhinoplasty (secondary surgery) will be more expensive than a primary rhinoplasty (first surgery) due to the complicating factors such as scar tissue, correction of another surgeon’s work, grafting, etc…
Another factor that can effect the cost for your rhinoplasty surgery is the severity of what needs to be done. If it’s for reconstructive purposes, or the surgeon decides that an implant is necessary, etc… this will all factor in to the cost.
