Cost Of Rhinoplasty
According to the British Association of Plastic Surgeons, rhinoplasty is the fifth most popular cosmetic surgery performed in the United Kingdom. While most rhinoplasty procedures are performed to enhance the appearance of a person’s nose, it may also be advised for functional or reconstructive purposes. Rhinoplasty is usually performed by cosmetic surgeons, though it can also be performed by appropriately trained ENT surgeons, who often display a better understanding of nasal form and function.
If you are considering rhinoplasty, it is important to consult with a skilled surgeon, such as an appropriately trained ENT surgeon, who can advise you about your suitability for the procedure, and discuss what can be realistically achieved through the nose surgery. If you are found suitable, your chosen ENT surgeon should provide you with a detailed breakdown of the cost, to enable you to make an informed decision about proceeding with it.
The cost of rhinoplasty can vary widely. Some of the factors which can affect the cost of the nose surgery include:
• The surgeon’s fee: This usually varies depending on the skill and experience of the ENT surgeon, as well as the geographic location of the ENT clinic.
• Costs of the surgical facility: This includes the costs of any overnight stay, aftercare and follow-up consultations.
• Anaesthesia fees: In some cases, rhinoplasty may be performed under local anaesthesia or mild sedatives, while in other cases, general anaesthesia may be advised. General anaesthesia usually costs more than local anaesthesia.
• Medication costs: The cost of various prescribed medicines, together with their quantity, can add to the total cost of rhinoplasty.
• Medical tests: X-rays, CT scans, pre-operative blood work and other tests, should also be factored into the cost of rhinoplasty.
In the United Kingdom, nose surgery purely for aesthetic purposes is rarely available on the NHS, and therefore most individuals who wish to undergo the procedure will have to find a good private practice which specialises in rhinoplasty. This means that rhinoplasty is usually financed personally, though sometimes it can be done through medical insurance. If a person requires rhinoplasty to improve their breathing function, the procedure is considered reconstructive, and may be covered by insurance. Such types of nose surgery often require prior authorisation from a patient’s insurer. ENT London is one of London’s premier ENT clinics that specialises in rhinoplasty.
