CosMedica - Cosmetic Surgery in New York City - Dr. Howard T. Bellin

The costs of a successful rhinoplasty can be both financial and physical. You may be covered by your health insurance, which can help supplement the financial costs of the surgery. But, there is a risk that the outcome of your nose job will not be what you intended, which could lead to additional surgeries in the future.

The fee for any rhinoplasty procedure – structural or functional – should be $4,000 to $6,500. Generally, if I perform two or more procedures at the same time, there will not be any additional charges.

Reconstructive rhinoplasty may fall within the coverage of your health insurance plan, while cosmetic nose surgery might not. Before the surgery, I will submit a written estimate of surgery costs, along with the specific health insurance codes that identify all procedures. Submit this estimate to your insurance carrier before the surgery for their advice.

Any type of surgery carries a certain degree of risk. There is always the possibility of unexpected events such as an infection or a reaction to the anesthesia. The risk of you having a second procedure is small, about 10 percent of people receiving rhinoplasty require a second procedure.

The most important thing to consider is if the costs outweigh the end result that you desire. I will consult with you before your procedure; at which point we can discuss every possible cost, physical and financial, that you might encounter.
