What are the costs of nose reshaping or rhinoplasty?

Like all procedures, there are a few elements to take into consideration when billing for a Rhinoplasty Operation. The fees include:

•    The Surgeon’s Fee (+/- Assistant’s fee)
•    The Anaesthetist’s Fee
•    The Hospital/Facility Fee (includes both the Theatre & Accommodation Fees)

The total cost is approximately:-

Insured**: from $7 300* out of pocket with top private health insurance cover
Uninsured: from $12 400* incl. GST

We are constantly seeking methods to reduce costs for patients. The facility fees vary from place to place, and over time. We are vigilant in watching for options that will save our patients money without compromising results or safety.

Depending on your health fund, this may involve obtaining approval from Medicare prior to your operation date. During your initial consultation, Dr Sandercoe will let you know if you are likely to fulfil these criteria.
