Plastic Surgery Procedures

In New Orleans, LA

Rhinoplasty

Average Cost: $6000-7500

Average Time: 3-4 hours (*See anesthesia/facility fee estimate section)

Rhinoplasty, known as one of the most complex surgeries of the face, changes the external shape of the nose by reshaping and repositioning nasal cartilage and bone, as well as often improving the functionality of the nose. Sometimes, the septum and/or inferior turbinates need to be addressed additionally at the same time.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Average Cost: $8500-12500

Average Time: 5-6 hours (*See anesthesia/facility fee estimate section)

Revision rhinoplasty is uniquely challenging and requires an expert level skillset to address issues caused by previous rhinoplasties.

Occasionally, donor rib cartilage is required as well, which is an additional fee.

ALARPLASTY

Average Cost: $4000

Average Time: 1-2 hours (performed in office)

SEPTAL PERFORATION REPAIR

Average Cost: $12,500

Average Time: 5-6 hours (*See anesthesia/facility fee estimate section)

Brow Lift

Average Cost: $5200

Average Time: 2-3 hours (*See anesthesia/facility fee estimate section)

A browlift elevates the brows, causing rejuvenation and a more youthful appearance of the eyes. Browlifts can be performed endoscopically, with an incision along the hairline, or just in the temporal region, depending on the patient’s anatomy, goals, and surgeon evaluation.
