Dr. C. Spencer Cochran | Gunter Center - Dallas, Texas | Top Rhinoplasty Surgeons
Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult procedures in plastic surgery. As many as 1 in 4 nose jobs requires revision rhinoplasty surgery. As such, the patient should consider several key things when considering undergoing nose reshaping surgery.
Rhinoplasty (nose job) is a plastic surgery procedure performed to correct or improve the appearance of the nose. It is often combined with other procedures, such as a septoplasty, to correct breahting problems related to a deviated septum or structural collapse of the nose. A rhinoplasty is accomplished by reshaping or removing bone and cartilage from beneath the skin covering the nose. In some cases, cartilage grafts are added to help remodel the nasal framework. For primary rhinoplasty, this cartilage is taken from the septum inside the nose, and other sources of cartilage, such as the ear or rib, are usually not necessary.
Looking for one of the best rhinoplasty surgeons is essential for obtaining the best results. Your doctor should be Board Certified in either Plastic Surgery or Otolaryngology (ENT). It is important to remember that not all plastic surgeons have the skill and knowlegde for correcting nasal breathing problems. Similarly, not all ENT surgeons possess the cosmetic skills to provide an attractive appearing nose. Thus, it is essential to find a top rhinoplasty surgeon who is skilled in both functional and aesthetic aspects of rhinoplasty.
The cost of primary and secondary rhinoplasty can vary significantly depending on your situation. For patients with functional breathing problems, insurance often will contribute to a portion of the cost. Insurance companies usually will only pay only for the portion of rhinoplasty that is performed to improve breathing (functional surgery). They will not cover any portion performed to improve your appearance (cosmetic surgery). The national average cost in 2007 of a nose job according to ASAPS is approximately $4300. The cost can increase significantly if your rhinoplasty is a secondary (revision) case.
