As with any cosmetic surgery, each procedure requires a unique approach with a number of variables that affect the overall cost. As such, few cosmetic surgeons that provide highly personalized care for their patients are able to give accurate quotes and up-front pricing. After a personal consultation, however, Dr. Henderson is then able to accurately assess your situation and determine with great accuracy a good approximation of your final cost.

Though it may be easy to be swayed by special pricing and online specials, it is crucial to remember that a rhinoplasty is not a normal piece of merchandise, such as a car. It is a medical procedure, and like any medical procedure it should only be performed by a highly experienced and board-certified professional that has your complete trust.

Things to Keep in Mind When Pricing Rhinoplasty in Scottsdale/Phoenix

Typically, rhinoplasty done for aesthetic reasons is not covered by most patients’ insurance providers, meaning that surgical costs will not be covered. However, some insurers will cover procedures designed to improve nasal function or respiratory impairment. In order to be approved for this reimbursement, it is necessary to have your nasal function evaluated thoroughly and a report submitted to your insurer prior to the procedure. For medically-indicated surgeries combined with cosmetic procedures, insurers may be willing to pay a portion of the shared costs for facilities, recovery, and other medical expenses. 

In general, the cost of a rhinoplasty in Scottsdale/Phoenix relies on a number of factors, including use of medical facilities, anesthesia, recovery care, and medical equipment. The complexity of the surgical procedure can have a significant impact on the length of the procedure and the equipment uses, both factors that greatly affect cost. While these costs can be estimate prior to the procedure, it is important to keep in mind that expenses may increase if it is necessary for the surgery to go longer than expected. 

Choosing an Experienced Plastic Surgeon in Scottsdale/Phoenix

Trusting your cosmetic surgeon is the most important factor in ensuring a good outcome. By talking with other rhinoplasty patients, you can get an excellent sense of what is important to you, and what providers offer the qualities you are looking for in a surgeon.
