How Much is a Rhinoplasty?
The cost of your rhinoplasty depends on several factors:
- Location
- Provider’s experience and skill
- Type of rhinoplasty
The average cost of a rhinoplasty is between $5400 and $5500. This will not cover additional fees such as medications, anesthesia, or other expenses.
How is a Rhinoplasty Performed?
Dr. Stile will choose the type of rhinoplasty based on the complexity of your procedure. He uses whichever method gives him access to the necessary structures of the nose.
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty uses a small incision between the nostrils to access the inner structures of the nose. This allows the surgeon to perform more complex procedures that change the size and shape of your nose. You will have a tiny scar hidden between your nostrils.
Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions inside the nostrils. Because it gives the surgeon less access, this procedure works better for less complex rhinoplasties. Dr. Stile may use a closed rhinoplasty if your nose has a good overall shape and size before surgery.
Functional vs. Cosmetic Rhinoplasty
Not all rhinoplasties change the appearance of the nose. A functional rhinoplasty corrects problems with your nose that affect your breathing. A functional rhinoplasty can correct a deviated septum or other structural issues. While insurance does not cover cosmetic rhinoplasty, it may cover functional rhinoplasty.
