What changes the price
- First nose job or revision. A revision is usually a longer, more complex surgery: the U.S. median on NavMDs is $12,000 (67 prices). Compare revision rhinoplasty surgeons.
- Technique. Open or closed rhinoplasty, and whether breathing work on the septum is added.
- Surgeon and location. Experience and zip code move a quote more than anything else.
- What’s included. Surgeon’s fee, anesthesia and the operating room are often quoted separately.
About the data
NavMDs medians use one primary-rhinoplasty price per surgeon. Revision, combination and non-surgical (“liquid”) nose job listings are excluded. New York City is the five boroughs; the L.A. area is Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica and nearby cities. Medians rather than averages, so one extreme quote can’t skew an area. The Miami area has 9 prices, so treat its median as a guide. Your price depends on your surgeon, your location and what’s included. This is not medical advice.
