Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size and or shape of your nose. Rhinoplasty is usually done inside the nose, with the surgeon readjusting the bone and cartilage underneath the skin. Rhinoplasty requires local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the surgery and your surgeon's preferences. As with any major surgery, rhinoplasty carries risks such as bleeding, infection and an adverse reaction to the anesthesia. Rhinoplasty costs range from $3,000 to $8,000. Some of the cost of rhinoplasty can be covered by insurance if the rhinoplasty procedure is related to modifying the nasal passage to aid in breathing, or another medical necessity.
