The Average Cost of Asian Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can yield amazing results by altering facial balance to better suit the patient’s features, revealing a harmonious aesthetic. Asian rhinoplasty is a specialized version of this procedure that differs from traditional techniques. It aims to adjust the nose so that it flatters the Asian face, embraces cultural beauty standards, and accentuates the unique and attractive facial characteristics of each patient. Many patients, young and old, seek this transformational procedure from Dr. Charles S. Lee in Beverly Hills, but the number one question is usually: How much will my Asian rhinoplasty cost?
According to findings from CareCredit®, the average cost of a nose job in California is $9,498. However, Asian rhinoplasty is a specialized procedure that requires an extra level of finesse and experience. Therefore, it’s not uncommon to pay more for high-quality Asian rhinoplasty. Typically, Asian rhinoplasty with Dr. Lee starts at $26,000 and can vary based on individual needs, aesthetic goals, and the complexity of the procedure.
Beyond the Averages: What Do Rhinoplasty Costs Mean?
Asian rhinoplasty is typically considered to be elective, so the patient usually has to cover all costs out-of-pocket. However, some costs can be partially offset by PPO health insurance when breathing is impacted. In addition, many practices offer financing options that can provide easy payment plans to fit a variety of budgets. Dr. Lee’s office partners with CareCredit®, Cherry, and PatientFi.
You may have difficulty finding specific costs online, as each surgeon creates a customized surgical plan for each patient. However, there are some basic cost variables that can influence the end price, so we’ll explore those below.
Surgeon’s Fees
Your Asian rhinoplasty will be performed by a plastic surgeon, preferably one who specializes in facial aesthetics like Dr. Lee. The surgeon’s fee, sometimes referred to as the surgical fee, is the main cost of the surgery itself.
Most surgeons’ prices reflect national averages, as they have to stay competitive, but also because this fee usually reflects the relative complexity or difficulty of the procedure in question. For example, Asian rhinoplasty is actually considered one of the most technically complex facial procedures, as it requires great surgical skills to execute well. Naturally, surgeons who are exceptionally talented in facial surgeries or who specialize in Asian rhinoplasty will charge more than perhaps less experienced surgeons.
The old adage remains true with plastic surgery: You get what you pay for. This is best to keep in mind while shopping for your Asian rhinoplasty surgeon—don’t get drawn into cheaper prices. Your choice of surgeon can be the difference between a beautiful, long-lasting result and a botched rhinoplasty that requires a revision.
Facility & Anesthesia Fees
Generally, this portion of the final cost can vary greatly from surgeon to surgeon, depending on whether they have their own on-site surgical facility, their own in-house surgical staff, and other variables such as location. Under the care of Dr. Lee, your Asian rhinoplasty will be performed at Enhance Medical Center, an accredited surgical facility located in Beverly Hills.
In most cases, Asian rhinoplasty is performed using general anesthesia. The anesthesia fees cover the cost of the medication as well as the fees for the anesthesiologist’s services.
The Price of Beautiful Results
The best way to determine the cost of your Asian rhinoplasty is to meet with an experienced facial plastic surgeon, like Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee is a specialist in Asian cosmetic surgery, possessing a deep knowledge of the internal structures of the face and nose. A true artist, Dr. Lee maintains a keen eye for beauty and incorporates an understanding of facial balance and traditional symmetries to deliver results that are not just beautiful but reflect the unique nature of the patient’s features.
During your consultation, Dr. Lee will examine your nose and listen to your goals for the procedure. He will discuss possible surgical options and potential results, encouraging your participation in the process. If you decide this procedure is right for you, he will create a custom surgical plan and provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
