What Affects the Cost?

1. Primary vs. Revision Rhinoplasty

Primary rhinoplasty (first-time procedure) costs $6,000–$12,000. Revision rhinoplasty (correcting a previous nose job) costs $8,000–$18,000+ due to scar tissue and complexity. Tip refinement only (minor procedure) costs $4,000–$8,000.

2. Surgeon & Facility Fees

Rhinoplasty costs include: surgeon fee (50–60% of total), anesthesia fee ($1,000–$2,500), facility/operating room fee ($1,500–$3,500), pre-op tests and post-op care ($500–$1,500). Top-tier surgeons in NYC or Beverly Hills charge 2–3x more than their suburban counterparts.

3. Open vs. Closed Technique

Open rhinoplasty (small incision under the nose) allows maximum access and is used for complex reshaping. Closed rhinoplasty (incisions inside nostrils) leaves no visible scarring and has faster recovery. Cost difference is minimal — technique choice is based on your anatomy and goals, not cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

The national average rhinoplasty cost is $9,500 for a primary procedure with a board-certified surgeon. Costs range from $6,000 with a less experienced surgeon to $18,000+ with top facial plastic surgeons in major cities. Revision rhinoplasty costs 30–50% more due to complexity.

Insurance does not cover cosmetic rhinoplasty. However, if the nose job includes a septoplasty to correct a deviated septum that impairs breathing, that functional component may be partially covered by insurance. You'd pay for the cosmetic portion out-of-pocket.
