Rhinoplasty Surgery

Weighing the Cost

Rhinoplasty is an expensive operation. Costs range anywhere from $3,000 - $12,000, depending upon region or country, doctor’s credentials, and patient’s needs.

The good news is that rhinoplasty is one of the few plastic surgeries that are sometimes covered by medical insurance, especially if the procedure corrects a breathing problem, birth defect, or is needed for reconstruction due to injury.

Check with your insurance company; be certain to obtain proper pre-authorization for your surgery. This usually requires a “predetermination letter” provided by the surgeon. To find out if your medical policy will cover rhinoplasty, contact your insurance representative. Ask exactly what your policy covers: Surgery? Anesthesia? Corrective surgery, if necessary? Hospital costs? Will surgery increase my premium, or will future coverage be affected because of the surgery?”
