Revision Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Surgery) Cost

Posted on March 10, 2014 by admindrv

The cost of revision rhinoplasty can differ from one practice to another, and also from one patient to another at the same practice. Dr. V discusses the cost aspect for this procedure during the initial consultation with his patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and nearby areas.

Cost Factors

Length and Complexity of Surgery

Revision rhinoplasty can often be more complicated and lengthier procedure as compared to the primary nose surgery. As a result, the cost of the revision procedure is likely to be slightly higher in comparison to the original surgery. The final cost will depend on the extent of improvements or surgical revisions required. If the revision procedure involves grafting with patient’s own tissue or with silicone implants, the cost may increase.

Fee of the Plastic Surgeon

Revision rhinoplasty should be performed by a facial plastic surgeon with experience in handling complex revision procedures of the nose. The surgeon’s fee may differ based on their qualifications, experience and reputation in performed revision rhinoplasty. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommends that surgeon’s fee should only be a secondary consideration when making a choice of a suitable plastic surgeon.

Anesthesia and Surgical Room Costs

Revision rhinoplasty may be performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, depending on the circumstances of the case. The fee of anesthesiologist may vary according to their skills and experience. The cost of a surgical facility may also vary depending on the technologies, services and staff available at a particular facility.

Practice Location

Average cost of living in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and nearby areas may differ from that in San Francisco, CA. This may impact the cost of various goods and services, including cosmetic surgery services in a particular area.

Average Cost

If the revision rhinoplasty involves just a minor corrective surgery, it may be completed in less than half an hour under local anesthesia, and the cost may be quite low. On the other hand, if the procedure involves major nose reconstruction, implants or other revisions, the procedure may cost more than what it may have cost during the primary nose surgery.

Cartilage grafting or silicone implants, and correction of structural or functional abnormalities may require a major procedure, which will cost more. Depending on the operative time and other factors, the average cost of revision nose surgery in the United States may range from $7,500 to $14,000.

Insurance and Financing

An elective surgery such as rhinoplasty is not likely to be covered under a patient’s health plan. The same also holds true for revision rhinoplasty, especially if the primary procedure was performed for aesthetic reasons.

However, if the procedure was medically necessary to correct functional anomalies, the revision surgery may also be covered fully or partially under the patient’s health policy. Most patients can also receive convenient financing options from professional medical care finance firms. The office of the plastic surgeon may be able to offer guidance in these matters.

Revision Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Surgery) Overview

Posted on March 3, 2014 by admindrv

Dr. Trang Vo-Nguyen (Dr. V) is a board certified facial plastic surgeon providing rhinoplasty as well as revision rhinoplasty procedures. If a patient is dissatisfied with the primary nose surgery performed by a surgeon, a corrective surgery called revision rhinoplasty may have to be performed. Dr. V provides this procedure to her patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and other areas.

When is Revision Rhinoplasty Performed?

In some cases, the original rhinoplasty procedure may have resulted in a compromise of the patient’s basic facial integrity or ethnicity, or the results may appear very obvious. Some patients may be unhappy with the lack of harmony of the new nose with other facial features, or the procedure may have caused obstruction in breathing or other functional difficulties. In such cases, an experienced plastic surgeon may be consulted for a revision rhinoplasty to remove the aberrations caused by the primary surgery.

Treatment Planning

Revision rhinoplasty is typically a more complicated procedure compared to primary rhinoplasty. Therefore, this procedure should be performed only by an experienced plastic surgeon specializing in facial procedures. Patients in and around Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, and Warrenton have an opportunity to receive this treatment from Dr. V.

She will first assess the cosmetic and functional problems of the nose that the primary surgery may have caused or left untreated. In some cases, the problem may not be directly related to the primary nose surgery, but may have occurred during the period of recovery. The exact nature and causes of the problem will be established, and an appropriate treatment plan will be prepared taking into account the patient’s facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and previous nose surgeries.

Goal of Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty procedure aims to restore the appearance of the nose in accordance with the patient’s aesthetic goals through correction of the problems caused during the first surgery. In revision surgery, sometimes the plastic surgeon may be required to perform a re-construction of the nose and re-draping of the skin.

Limiting factors such as natural thickness and texture of the nasal skin, elasticity of the skin, and availability of cartilage may have to be dealt with in revision rhinoplasty. The primary procedure may have caused scar tissue formation, which can be another factor that the surgeon will have to overcome in a revision procedure.

Nose Reconstruction

Revision rhinoplasty may often require reconstruction of the underlying nasal structure to restore aesthetic appearance as well as correct functional problems of the nose. In some cases, nose grafting may be necessary, which may involve patient’s own cartilage from the ear, nose or ribs. Aberrations on the nasal bridge or nasal tip may be obscured by using Fascia from the scalp. Silicone implants may be used if the patient’s natural tissue availability is limited, or cosmetic concerns require the use of silicone implants.

Recovery

The patient can go back to work usually within a week after the surgery. Full effects of the procedure become visible as the swelling and bruising resolves over the next several weeks.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Surgery) Before and After Photos

Rhinoplasty, popularly known as a nose job, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the shape, size, and appearance of the nose in harmony with the other features of the face. Dr. V provides rhinoplasty to her patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and nearby communities.

What are Rhinoplasty Before and After Photos?

Rhinoplasty ‘before and after’ photographs refer to a set of images belonging to a previous patient who has successfully undergone nose surgery. The photos are taken with the consent of that patient in a discreet manner. The set includes pictures taken before and after the rhinoplasty procedure. The purpose is to educate new patients about nose job, and how effective it may be in improving their facial profile.

The plastic surgeon will use these before and after photos at the time of initial consultation. In many cases, a new patient has only a vague idea about rhinoplasty and other facial plastic surgery procedures. During the initial consultation, the surgeon can explain clearly about various aspects of rhinoplasty. Before and after photos come in handy at this stage as a visual tool to help the patient understand exactly what kind of changes can be achieved with rhinoplasty. See Rhinoplasty before and after photos

Choice of the Right Procedure

Dr. V ensures that her patients in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, and surrounding communities are made fully aware of the various treatment options available to them. Sometimes the patient may be unsure whether to choose full or mini rhinoplasty, or combine rhinoplasty with another procedure such as chin or cheek augmentation or enhance the overall facial aesthetic outcome.

In such situations, before and after photos can provide a fair visual idea of how different treatment options may help. Patients can choose the best possible treatment plan in close consultation with the cosmetic surgeon, using before and after pictures as a visual aid.

What Rhinoplasty Can or Cannot Do?

One of the key goals of the rhinoplasty surgeon at the time of initial consultation is to ensure that the patient forms realistic expectations about the final outcome. Despite the best explanations of the surgeon, sometimes the patient may over-estimate what improvements in facial appearance can be achieved with rhinoplasty.

In such a situation, even if the actual procedure turns out to be very successful, the patient may end up being disappointed with the results. This risk can be entirely avoided when the surgeon makes use of nose surgery before and after photos and explains to the patient what the procedure can or cannot in terms of aesthetic enhancement.

Digital Photos on the Surgeon’s Website

Rhinoplasty ‘before and after’ photos can also be provided online at the plastic surgeon’s website. This way any person who is keen to learn about the procedure can access these photos at the website. Potential patients can review the photos and decide whether to visit the surgeon’s office for a rhinoplasty consultation.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Surgery) Cost

Posted on February 18, 2014 by admindrv

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job Surgery) Costs Northern Virginia

Dr. V performs rhinoplasty procedure for her patients in and around Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, and Warrenton. The cost of this procedure may vary from one practice to another based on several factors, and in some cases it may even differ from one patient to another at the same practice.

The following factors may impact the overall cost of the procedure:

Where the Practice is Located

The cost of living in two different regions may not be the same, which will influence the costs of all kinds of goods and services in a particular area. For instance, the cost of rhinoplasty in Chantilly, Northern Virginia, Loudoun County, Fairfax, Prince William, Fauquier, Arlington, Middleburg, Leesburg, Manassas, Warrenton, or nearby areas may differ from the cost in Santa Monica, CA.

Plastic Surgeon’s Fee

The plastic surgeon may charge a fee in accordance with his or her experience, skills, and reputation in performing rhinoplasty. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommends that patients should choose the surgeon appropriately, and the surgeon’s fee should only be a secondary consideration in the selection.

Anesthesia and Operating Room Costs

If the procedure is performed under general anesthesia the cost may be different compared to a situation where a minor correction to the nose is performed under local anesthesia. A state of the art surgical facility with the latest technology and experienced support staff may charge slightly more than an average facility.

Average Cost of Rhinoplasty

According to the national average figures regarding the cost of various plastic surgery procedures released by the ASPS, the cost of rhinoplasty in 2012 in the United States was $4,493 on average. However, this cost does not include the costs of anesthesia, operating room costs, or other related expenses.

The cost also depends on the length and complexity of the procedure. If the procedure involves revision rhinoplasty to correct the anomalies of a previous nose surgery, the cost may be higher than that of a primary surgery. The cost of a major rhinoplasty involving a complete re-doing of the nose, including correction of structural deformities, implants and cartilage grafting to recreate the nasal framework may be significantly higher than a minor corrective nose surgery.

If the rhinoplasty procedure involves using cartilage from another part of the body, it can add the operative time as well as the overall cost of the procedure. The cost of revision rhinoplasty or a major rhinoplasty procedure may range from $8,000 to $15,000, depending on several factors.

Insurance and Financing

When rhinoplasty is performed as an elective surgery for aesthetic reasons, the patient’s health plan will not provide coverage for the costs. However, if the procedure is performed to correct functional issues, which could include obstructed breathing, the cost of the procedure may be covered under the health insurance plan. Patients can also have the procedure financed through professional medical care finance companies. Payment can be made in convenient installments when rhinoplasty is financed through such third parties.

Enhancing or reducing the size of the nose in proportion with the rest of the face.
Enhancing or reducing the width of the nose at the nose bridge.
Removing unsightly humps or depressions on the nose bridge.

The patient is over 12 years of age and the facial growth has been fully attained.
The patient is a non-smoker or ready to stop smoking several weeks prior to the procedure.

Procedure

The plastic surgeon may perform nose surgery under general anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the circumstances of the case. It may be a closed or open rhinoplasty as per the treatment plan devised to achieve the patient’s aesthetic goals. The closed procedure will involve incisions inside the nose, which keeps the scars hidden later on.

In an open procedure, however, the incision is made across the columella, which a thin strip of tissue dividing the nostrils. The surgeon will lift the soft tissue that covers the nose in order to gain access to reshape the underlying structure.

Realistic Expectations

One of the important concerns for a plastic surgeon is to ensure that the patient forms realistic expectations about Juvederm Voluma treatment in order to achieve satisfactory results. Many patients have only a vague idea about what a procedure can or cannot do for them when they visit the surgeon’s office for an initial consultation. At this stage, the surgeon and his or her staff will try to ensure that the patient does not misunderstand the procedure.

Despite best verbal explanations about a procedure such as Juvederm Voluma filler treatment, some patients may form misplaced expectations. In such a situation, even the best results are achieved with the treatment, the patient may end up remaining dissatisfied or disappointed with the outcome. This situation can be avoided effectively with the help of Juvederm Voluma before and after photos.

Online Photos

Mini Facelift Cost

Posted on January 22, 2014 by admindrv

Mini Facelift Cost – Northern Virginia | Loudoun | Fairfax | Prince William | Fauquier | Arlington

Dr. Trang Vo-Nguyen (Dr. V) is a board certified facial plastic surgeon in Chantilly, near Northern Virginia. She leads a state of the art plastic surgery practice called the Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts. Patients in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, Arlington County, and nearby areas who are looking for facial plastic surgery procedures can receive advance treatment from Dr. V.

What is Mini Facelift?

Mini facelift is an innovative surgical procedure to reduce the signs of aging from the face in a minimally invasive way. The procedure is designed to reduce the risks typically associated with a traditional facelift plastic surgery procedure. The treatment involves minimal downtime and reduced swelling and discomfort during the recovery period. Dr. V is an experienced plastic surgeon providing mini facelift to patients in Middleburg, Leesburg, Fairfax, Manassas, Warrenton, Arlington, and surrounding communities.

Cost Factors in Mini Facelift

Compared to a traditional facelift plastic surgery, a mini facelift is a less complication procedure as it deals with selective areas of the face to reduce the signs of aging. Due to the quickness of this procedure, it is also sometimes called by the name of a Weekend Facelift. While a traditional facelift involves a major incision through which the underlying muscles and tissue are tightened and excess skin is removed, in case of a mini facelift only minor incisions are involved to tighten the neck and jowls and other targeted specific areas.

Location of the Practice

The cost of a mini facelift in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, Arlington County, or nearby locations may differ from the cost of the same procedure in Chicago or another region. This happens because the cost of living in each region may differ, which may influence the cost of all products and services, including facial plastic surgery services.

Surgeon’s Fee

If the mini facelift procedure is performed by a highly qualified and experienced facial plastic surgeon, the fee charged may be higher compared to another surgeon who may not be a recognized expert in the area of head and neck surgery. A higher demand from patients may make a surgeon hard pressed for time for a particular procedure, and he or she may charge a higher fee. As per the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the surgeon’s fee should be a secondary factor, and patients should choose the right surgeon for their surgical needs.

Cost of Operating Facility

If a mini facelift procedure is performed at a state of the art surgical facility that is fully equipped with advanced technologies and systems, along with the backup of experienced support staff, and provides high quality services and comforts, it may charge more than an average operating facility.

Cost of Anesthesia

In case of a mini facelift, the patient will not require to undergo general anesthesia. That will save a considerable part of the cost in comparison to a traditional facelift surgery that is typically performed under general anesthesia. A mini facelift is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation.

Additional Costs

A mini facelift is performed on an outpatient basis, and the entire procedure can be completed within 45 to 90 minutes in most cases. Therefore, overnight stay costs are eliminated in this procedure. However, the patient should take into account costs of any medical tests, prescription medications, post-op visits or other related expenses. An accurate estimate of costs will help a patient arrange the finances for the procedure well in advance.

Average Cost of Mini Facelift

A mini facelift procedure will usually cost in the range of $4,000 to $7,000 depending on several cost factors as discussed above. This cost is usually about half the total cost involved in a traditional facelift plastic surgery. In cosmetic enhancement procedures, the cost is forgotten quickly, but the results are remembered for a long time. Therefore, patients should choose an appropriate procedure with a qualified, preferably board certified plastic surgeon specializing in facial plastic surgery for such a procedure.

Insurance and Financing

Mini facelift is typically performed for cosmetic reasons, which makes it an elective surgery. Health insurance plans normally do not provide coverage for such cosmetic surgery procedures. Patients may be required to make an upfront payment at the plastic surgeon’s office. Therefore, financing issue should be discussed with their office well in advance.

Some practices may provide guidance or assistance with regarding to arranging finances for the procedure. Alternatively, third party financing is available directly through various professional medical care finance companies. Financing can make it convenient for the patient to make payments in affordable monthly installments.
