Understanding the Different Factors that Can Affect Rhinoplasty Cost


If you are considering undergoing surgery on your nose, Dr. Sahar Nadimi can explain all of the factors that can affect rhinoplasty cost at our Oakbrook Terrace hair restoration and plastic surgery office, so that you can make an informed decision about your treatment. Because rhinoplasty is a highly customizable procedure, the actual cost can vary greatly from patient to patient. Some rhinoplasty procedures are more complicated than others, and some patients may choose to combine their rhinoplasty with another procedure, which can affect the overall cost of a rhinoplasty. 

General Cost of Rhinoplasty

The actual cost of rhinoplasty depends on a variety of different factors. In general, however, a rhinoplasty typically costs between $5,000 and $10,000. The lower end of this range would include patients who need a fairly simple procedure and are not combining their surgery with another cosmetic procedure. The high end of this range can include patients who require a more complicated procedure—typically those who have suffered trauma and need some degree of reconstruction—as well as those who choose to combine their procedure with one or more additional procedures. Because there are so many variables that can affect your individual cost, it is best to meet with Dr. Nadimi in person to determine an accurate estimate for your expenses.

Other Factors that Can Affect Rhinoplasty Cost

There are a number of additional circumstances that can affect the cost of your rhinoplasty, such as the surgeon’s skill, the complexity of the procedure, and more. Below is a list of considerations that you should take into account when determining the estimated cost of your rhinoplasty.

  • Surgeon Skill and Fees: Surgeons such as Dr. Nadimi with more advanced training and skill typically charge higher fees than less experienced surgeons. This fee should not deter you from treatment, however, as it is often indicative of how satisfied you will be with your results.
  • Facility Fees: All surgical procedures are performed in a nearby surgical facility here in Oakbrook Terrace. Surgical facilities charge a fee for the use of their space, which may be charged at a flat or hourly rate. Facilities in more densely populated areas, such as Chicago, tend to have higher fees than those in more rural areas. 
  • Anesthesia: Rhinoplasty is a major surgery that requires the administration of a general anesthesia. A registered nurse or a certified anesthesiologist can administer your anesthesia. Both charge hourly fees; however, a nurse’s fee is typically less than that of an anesthesiologist. A certified anesthesiologist can give patients peace of mind, however, and is sometimes recommended if the patient has a medical condition.
  • Individual Patient Needs: Your individual goals for treatment may affect your overall costs. The complexity of the procedure and the length of time required to complete the procedure are major factors that will affect your costs. Patients needing a simple reduction will have fewer costs than a patient in need of reconstruction. 
  • Combining with Other Procedures: As with many procedures, a rhinoplasty can be combined with one or more other cosmetic procedures for more dramatic results. For example, chin augmentation can be performed in conjunction with a rhinoplasty for a more dramatic result. This will add time to your overall procedure length, though, which can increase your costs.
  • Number of Follow-up Appointments: Most patients require at least one follow-up visit after surgery. Patients who do not heal properly or experience complications may require additional visits. These potential visits should be taken into consideration.
  • Insurance: Your health insurance may or may not cover your rhinoplasty. In general, most insurance plans do not cover elective cosmetic procedures. If your rhinoplasty is purely for cosmetic reasons, your insurance is not likely to cover it. However, if your procedure is undertaken to correct damage after trauma or a deviated septum or other health concern, your plan may cover all or some of your procedure.
