Nose Contouring and Reshaping

It is not uncommon for people to be disatisfied with the shape of their nose. Maybe some feel as though it's too wide, the tip too bulbous or just out of proportion with the rest of their face. For those reasons, some choose rhinoplasty to improve the shape (or function) of their nose.

Dr. Stephen Kahler has the aesthetic sensitivity and skill to help you decide on the perfect contour for your nose — one that can improve the balance and harmony of all your facial features.

What is a nose contouring?

Nose contouring, commonly referred to as a “nose job,” is a cosmetic surgery procedure for reshaping and refining the profile of the nose in size or shape.

Plastic surgeons also use nose contouring techniques in reconstructive surgery that restores the nose shape and function following injury or disease.

What does nose contouring cost?

Nose contouring, or “rhinoplasty,” is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance.Reconstructive rhinoplasty, however, to restore normal function to the nose may be covered by insurance. Abnormal function of the nose may be caused by septal deviation, previous nasal fracture or other problems causing nasal deviation.

For cosmetic rhinoplasty, fee quotes may be given at the time of consultation and range from $5,500 to $8,500 (depending on additional procedures that may be required). This includes the physician charge, facility fee, anesthesia fee, pre-operative visit, post-operative visits for up to three months, dressings and garments.
