Rhinoplasty - A Surgery of Millimeters

[ani3000]

what happens if the patient ends up with unsatisfactory result eg pollybeak etc.

will they have to pay for a revision or is it free?

[DrRodRohrich]

@ani3000 Thank you for your excellent question.

No, I personally do not charge any of my primary rhinoplasty patients for revision if it is needed, which is rare. My personal revision rate is less than 3%. However, this only applies to my fees as a surgeon. A patient will still be responsible for other fees such as OR and anesthesia which are reduced hospital fees.

I've always wanted to get a rhinoplasty surgery , however Im too scared to do it. Im somewhat scared of the risk. My nose has bother me for years, and its so uncomfortable feeling this way. I hope to one day finally be able to do it. Thanks for this video. Im gonna start saving for a surgery soon.

@drivonike2 Ive had 4 rhinos,only 1 was a good job,2 were complete disasters and the last 1 just put me back where I started.Mine wasnt that bad in the first place and i wished i never bothered with it.If the surgeon is a specialist in noses the risk is very low with a first time nose,each operation increases the risk

[drivonike2]

@billysue2 yikes! I've been reading more info lately about the procedures, and I think before taking the step im gonna find out more about the doctor whom I ever pick when the time finally comes. its quite embarrassing at times feeling like your nose is the only thing you want to fix and thats how I feel literally every day. I really would like to change that one day.

[billysue2]

@drivonike2 you need to get a board certified specialist in plastic surgery and then someone who has done a lot of noses,over 1000 would be decent,also you and him need to agree exactly about whats wrong and be sure he can fix that.I spent 2 years researching rhinoplasty and consulting surgeons before my last op.The best advice site is look your best uk forum.Best surgeons in UK Matti,mackay and rowe jones,in america gruber,menick,burget,guyron and a few others but those guys are very expensive.

[drivonike2]

@billysue2 thanks for the info!!! =) and def. gonna do that than. There is one plastic surgeon in Scottsdale , AZ that I was considering , I saw a few of his videos, and also some of the previous experience he had. As well, at the certification he had received and it look like he was a good surgeon. The price wasn't specified, only by appointment , but reading comments about it, I kinda have an idea of the cost which why Im currently saving. For now Im def. gonna be reading more about it.

[DrRodRohrich]

@billysue2 You are absolutely correct. For any secondary or even a primary rhinoplasty , you need to find do your homework to find someone who has the experience and expertise to get you the results you want.

[DrRodRohrich]

@drivonike2 I agree with you. Your nose is the most prominent part of your face so changing it is a big deal. Make sure you select the best rhinoplasty surgeon who really knows noses!!

[drivonike2]

@DrRodRohrich I def will! I think once Im ready I will make sure the doctor agrees in what Im gonna do as well as me and the procedures that will be done. but i think once it happens i will def. feel alot better about my image.

[drivonike2]

@DrRodRohrich I def will! I think once Im ready I will make sure the doctor agrees in what Im gonna do as well as me and the procedures that will be done. but i think once it happens i will def. feel alot better about my image. thanks for the tips.!

how much it cost??

[DrRodRohrich]

The cost of a rhinoplasty varies greatly depending on the complexity, so it's difficult to give a quote or even an estimate until the patient has been seen. For example if a patient has had a previous rhinoplasty and needs a revision, or if the patient perhaps had a broken nose as a child, the complexity will be much greater. In general you can expect a range between 4500 and 9500 USD.
