About This Procedure

Surgery to reshape the nose for cosmetic or functional purposes. Functional rhinoplasty corrects breathing problems and may be covered by insurance.

Hospital Stay: Outpatient
Recovery: 2-4 weeks

What Affects the Price?

Revision rhinoplasty costs 50-100% more than primary surgery due to scar tissue complexity. Septoplasty (functional) combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty may have the functional portion covered by insurance. Top-tier surgeons in NYC or LA charge $15,000-$25,000. Board certification and before/after portfolios matter more than price.
