Every rhinoplasty procedure is unique, and this means their costs can be unique as well. But what exactly affects rhinoplasty costs? Considering how many questions we get about nose job costs in Toronto, this topic is clearly on quite a few people’s minds. This blog covers some of the most critical factors in determining the final price of a rhinoplasty.
What influences rhinoplasty price?
Many looking for a rhinoplasty procedure assume the price is simply for the surgery itself. But there are actually a few factors that go into building the final rhinoplasty price, which is why it can sometimes take time to pin it down beforehand.
Not only are there fees for the surgeons, but for any anesthesiologists as well. There may also be fees associated with the operating theatre being used. Medical tests and post-surgery prescription fees for the rhinoplasty recovery would also be included in the cost.
So just how much does a nose job cost in Toronto?
It’s a misconception that there’s a single “nose job” procedure that everyone who goes to a plastic surgeon receives. Every nose job in Toronto alone is for a unique patient with unique needs. This naturally also means a unique cost. However, there are a few factors that commonly come up when determining what affects rhinoplasty prices. Dr. Richard Rival offers a variety of payment methods, financing, and insurance consideration.
Amount of change
With rhinoplasties, the final result will have a significant impact on the overall cost. A smaller adjustment to the nasal tip, for example, probably will cost less than totally changing the size of the entire nose. In general, rhinoplasty patients are recommended to use cosmetic surgery computer imaging to determine if they really want to spend money on a more complex procedure.
Complexity
Ideally, a facial plastic surgeon will try to make as few incisions or alterations when the rhinoplasty is performed. Nose surgery requires a delicate touch, and it’s easy to go too far, thus requiring a revision rhinoplasty. Surgical rhinoplasties that require multiple incisions or steps are going to generally cost more. While not always true, the more complicated “closed rhinoplasty surgery” will often cost more than an “open rhinoplasty.” The closed procedure requires more skill by the rhinoplasty surgeon overall.
Nose injuries
If the purpose of a rhinoplasty is to help repair an injury to the nose, the severity of those injuries will significantly impact the overall cost of the rhinoplasty. A broken nose is one thing. But if the cartilage is missing from the nose, there may need to be grafts of cartilage taken from elsewhere in the body, such as the ear.
Revision rhinoplasty
Generally, facial plastic surgery becomes more expensive if it isn’t the first procedure you have had in the area. Undoing previously done work is somewhat more complicated and comes with large expenses. Revision rhinoplasty is more expensive than someone’s first rhinoplasty, for example.
Skin thickness
Your kind of nose can sometimes affect the price as well, and what types of rhinoplasty will be more or less complex. People with “fleshy noses” and thick skins will often find their rhinoplasty price slightly higher than people with thinner skin.
