Nose Job

Considering that Rhinoplasty is one the most popular and the most demanding plastic surgeries, it is no wonder that it is also a relatively costly procedure. In North America, Rhinoplasty can cost as little as 2,500$ and as high as 12,000$. The wide range for the plastic nose surgery cost is due to the many factors involved.

The rhinoplasty cost will cover the various parties involved in the surgery such as the surgeon’s fees of course, the anesthesiologist’s fee since most nose surgeries take place under general anesthetic, the hospital fees including the cost for the OR since most nose jobs are performed at the hospital, and although it is a much smaller amount, there are also of course the blood tests as well as the medications costs to consider.

The plastic surgeon fee, which is part on the rhinoplasty cost, will greatly depend on the surgeon, his/her reputation, experience and geographical location. For example, in India or Syria, nose plastic surgeries can be performed for as little as 750$! However, seeking to save money on your nose surgery is the last thing you would want to do. You should make sure your Plastic surgeon is well trained and has enough experience to alter your face and improve your self-image and breathing quality and not the other way around. In Canada, your surgeon should continuously be updated to the latest safety standards and be certified by the the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in the USA.

The nose surgery cost will also vary depending on the kind of work your nose requires. If bones are required to be broken, the rhinoplasty will cost more than one that only involves cartilage. If the nose surgery is a revision rhinoplasty surgery it is also more costly, since revision plastic surgery will be more sensitive and involves more risks.

Rhinoplasty cost will therefore depend on each individual case, the extent of the surgery, the doctor and it significantly varies according to the geographical location. Since rhinoplasty surgery is purely cosmetic, insurance does not cover nose surgery costs.

In cases where the nose surgery must be performed for breathing purposes, the insurance may have to cover it. Often, doctors are aware of the high cost of the nose surgery for most patients’ budgets and will agree on a financial plan. Discuss it with your doctor.
