How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost?
The estimated price range for a rhinoplasty procedure at Luxxery Boutique is $10,000 – $12,000. This typically includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, use of the surgical facility, and follow-up care; however, other fees, such as pre-operative testing, blood work, and special equipment may be charged separately.

Additional Rhinoplasty Frequently Asked Questions
How can I reduce swelling after rhinoplasty?
To help control swelling after rhinoplasty, our surgeon usually recommends keeping the head elevated (even during sleep), gently applying cold compresses around the nose, getting adequate rest, taking light walks to maintain steady blood flow, protecting your nose from physical contact, and eating anti-inflammatory foods such as fruits, vegetables, and healthy proteins to promote healing. In general, most swelling should improve within 6 to 12 weeks following surgery but may take six months to one year to fully resolve.
How do I clean my nose after rhinoplasty?
Depending on the surgical technique utilized, our plastic surgeon may have different recommendations for properly cleaning the nose after rhinoplasty and the details will be included in your aftercare instructions. For reference, it is usually advised to either softly insert a sterile cotton swab (sometimes it is recommended that it be soaked in hydrogen peroxide) and gently circle around the inside of the nostril(s) or carefully use a saline nasal spray or rinse to gently irrigate the nasal passages. Specific instructions will be provided to you in your post-operative guidelines.
When can I blow my nose after rhinoplasty?
To avoid potential injury or damage to the fragile nasal structures after rhinoplasty, patients must avoid blowing their nose for at least two weeks, or as advised on an individual basis by our surgeon. The excessive force of blowing the nose can cause bleeding, increased swelling, and other complications, which can prolong the healing process and may impair the final outcome. Although patients may experience a stuffy or congested feeling following surgery, it can usually be alleviated with a nasal spray or rinse, as directed by our plastic surgeon.
Is rhinoplasty different for men vs. women?
As far as the surgical process, rhinoplasty procedures are generally the same for both men and women. Moreover, our doctor always ensures that each cosmetic procedure is uniquely catered to the individual’s concerns and goals regardless of their gender. With that said, the anatomical features and desired cosmetic appearance can be quite different for men and women, requiring distinct scientific artistry and contrasting results. For example, women usually prefer a thinner and less prominent nasal bridge as well as a slightly upturned nasal tip, whereas men may choose a broader nasal bridge and less elevated angle between the upper lip and nose. Our plastic surgeon is highly experienced in rhinoplasty surgery for both men and women and focuses on achieving the most natural-looking outcome for each patient.
