Introduction
There are generally two surgical methods for nasal bone repositioning, with corresponding reference prices: internal incision method, priced at approximately 10,000–30,000 yuan per session; and external incision method, priced at approximately 5,000–25,000 yuan per session. Factors affecting the cost of nasal bone repositioning surgery include the condition of the nasal bones, the surgeon's experience, and regional differences. After surgery, proper care is essential, and contact with water should be avoided too early.

There are generally two methods for nasal bone repositioning surgery, with corresponding reference prices: the endonasal approach, priced at approximately 10,000–30,000 yuan per session; and the external approach, priced at approximately 5,000–25,000 yuan per session. Factors influencing the cost of nasal bone repositioning surgery include the condition of the nasal bones, surgeon's experience, and regional differences.

Methods and reference prices for nasal bone repositioning surgery:

Comparison Item / Procedure

Endonasal Approach

External Approach

Reference Price

10,000–30,000 yuan/session

5,000–25,000 yuan/session

Principle

The endonasal approach involves internal incisions within the nasal cavity, approximately 5 mm in size, followed by dissection of internal soft tissues.

Nasal bones are fractured using an osteotome and pushed back to the desired position and fixed; this method causes less trauma.

Suitable Candidates

Individuals with a dorsal hump and wide nasal bones

Individuals with severe nasal deviation

Recovery Period

1–3 months

1–3 months

Duration of Results

5–20 years

5–15 years

Risks

1. Fracture
2. Pain

1. Bleeding
2. Nasolacrimal duct injury

Factors affecting the cost:

① Nasal bone condition: If the nasal bone deformity is severe, the surgical complexity increases, potentially leading to higher costs. Conversely, if the issue is mild and easier to correct, the cost may be lower.

② Surgeon’s experience: More experienced and highly qualified surgeons typically charge higher fees, while less experienced surgeons may charge relatively less.

③ Regional differences: Due to variations in economic development across regions, medical costs—and thus surgical fees—are generally higher in first-tier cities and relatively lower in second- and third-tier cities.

If nasal bone repositioning surgery is needed, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician. After surgery, proper postoperative care is essential: avoid getting the surgical site wet too early, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as Sichuan pepper, chili peppers, and onions, which may hinder recovery.
