Costs of Nose Jobs varies from location to location
The costs of rhinoplasty or cosmetic nose surgery varies depending upon whether you are having the procedure in the Northeast or South or out west.
I have seen prices in California especially LA and Beverly Hills in the 10 to 15 thousand dollar range; although I’m sure you can find others in the area that are less.
New York City tends to be around 10 to 12 thousand. In our area of upper Florida in Jacksonville the costs range from about 5500 to 7500. Our cost for example is 3500 plus 1000 facility and 750 for anesthesia for a total cost of 5250. (Scott Trimas, MD, Jacksonville Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Great variablity in Nose Job prices
Depending on what the various problems are with your nose, a rhinoplasty could cost anywhere from six to fifteen thousand dollars (this includes the cost for the operating room and anesthesia). However, there is great variability between patients.
Some portions of these procedures may be covered by your insurance plan (for obstructed airway or difficulty breathing), which could reduce your total out of pocket costs. The best way to find out all of this information is to come in for a full examination. (Kevin Brenner, MD, FACS, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon)
Cost of Nose Job

It depends on the surgeon and the extent of the surgery.
Choose an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon and don’t try looking for a deal! The cost varies between $6000-15,000. The more complex, the more the time and the cost. (Toby Mayer, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Do not select your rhinoplasty (nose) surgeon based on price
There is a tremendous range in fees for rhinoplasty. The factors involved include Geographic area in US. Northeast tends to be more expensive. Medical tourism is becoming more popular. I am seeing increasing requests for revision rhinoplasty work in patients who had their surgery abroad in the hopes of saving money. I would be very cautious unless you have done your homework and other patients have seen this surgeon. The type of rhinoplasty being performed- reducing a bump on the bridge costs less than when the entire nose including the tip is refined. Type and experience of surgeon- a plastic surgeon who tends to specialize on facial plastic surgery, in particular nasal surgery, will tend to charge more their expertise.
In my opinion, well worth it. Plastic surgeons educate other doctors at the university level also tend to have more experience and skill. Do it right the first time and save later in revision fees. primary vs revision rhinoplasty- having to revise another surgeon’s work always costs more. In summary, you will see fees ranging from $3,000 to 15,00 (Ran Y. Rubinstein, MD, Manhattan Facial Plastic Surgeon)

The choice of surgeon is more important
Rhinoplasty has about a 15% revision rate. Sometimes the stress and cost of revision surgeries may far outweigh the expense of an primary surgery. Now that does not mean that you should pick the most expensive person in your area. Pick the best one. (Robert M. Freund, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)
