Many people who seek rhinoplasty in Korea want to know the surgery price. There are hospitals where they post the price on the web site. For example, primary rhinoplasty 3,000,000 krw (Korean won), tip surgery 500,000 krw, revision rhinoplasty 4,000,000 krw, alar base resection 500,000 krw, rib cartilage use 1,000,000 krs...
I have a critical point of view on this issue. First of all, rhinoplasty is not divided into dorsum augmentation, tip surgery, alar base resection, rib cartilage harvesting, ... It is an all inclusive term. Setting price per each technique seems not rational. In addition, rhinoplasty cost differs according to the difficulty of operation, materials used, techniques applied, anesthesia, and most of all surgeon's ability and experience. One simple revision operation can be done in 1 hour but another difficult revision operation may take 6 hours. How can we set all different revision rhinoplasty cost as one same price? Why people buy luxury items? It is because people believe and admit the artisan's devotion and huge efforts to make those items special. It applies same to the rhinoplasty cost.
Rhinoplasty is different from changing parts of a car. This is an operation that surgeon's philosophy is reflected. It is a highly sensitive and most difficult operation from all aesthetic surgeries and most plastic surgeon agree with this. Arbitrary classification of surgical cost is possible, but the exact cost can only be decided after full consultation.
I want to stress that rhinoplasty differs from person to person and situation to situation. Every operation is different and each person needs different techniques customized to the individual nose. Information that patient get from internet cafe or forum can be a little help but, in most cases, those information are not exactly reflecting the individual situation.
