Introduction
There are generally three types of nasal bone repositioning surgeries, with the following reference prices: closed reduction, approximately 8,000–12,000 yuan per procedure; open reduction, approximately 10,000–15,000 yuan per procedure; and endoscopic reduction under nasal endoscopy, approximately 5,000–15,000 yuan per procedure. Factors affecting the cost of nasal bone repositioning surgery include the type of surgical procedure, among others.

Nasal bone reduction surgery generally comes in three types, with the following reference prices: closed reduction, 8,000–12,000 RMB per session; open reduction, 10,000–15,000 RMB per session; endoscopic nasal reduction, 5,000–15,000 RMB per session. Factors influencing the cost of nasal bone reduction surgery include the type of procedure, severity of nasal fracture, and regional differences.

Types of Nasal Bone Reduction Surgery and Reference Prices:

Category/Item

Closed Reduction

Open Reduction

Endoscopic Nasal Reduction

Reference Price

8,000–12,000 RMB/session

10,000–15,000 RMB/session

5,000–15,000 RMB/session

Principle

A reductor is inserted into the nasal cavity to realign the fractured bones according to the specific fracture condition, followed by packing gauze strips to prevent nasal collapse

An incision is made on the columella, and displaced or sunken nasal bones are lifted or repositioned through the incision

Under endoscopic visualization, a grasping instrument attached to the endoscope is used to reposition the fractured area

Suitable Candidates

Individuals with displaced nasal fractures

Individuals with open nasal fractures

Individuals with simple nasal fractures without significant displacement

Recovery Period

3–5 months

1–2 months

3–6 months

Duration of Effect

10–20 years

10–15 years

20–30 years

Potential Risks

1. Soft tissue injury
2. Pain

1. Swelling
2. Nerve or vascular damage

1. Bleeding
2. Local pain

Factors Affecting Cost:

1. **Type of Surgery**: Different surgical techniques require varying materials and time. Closed reduction is relatively simple and less expensive, while open reduction and endoscopic reduction involve more complex procedures and may incur higher costs.

2. **Severity of Nasal Fracture**: More complex fractures involving multiple breaks or associated injuries increase surgical difficulty and may lead to higher costs. Conversely, minor fractures requiring simpler procedures typically result in lower expenses.

3. **Regional Differences**: Medical costs vary with regional economic development. Developed areas tend to have higher fees, while less economically developed regions may offer lower prices.

When considering nasal bone reduction surgery, patients should visit正规 hospitals, communicate thoroughly with their doctors, and understand the risks, expected outcomes, and detailed costs to make informed decisions. After surgery, maintain a light diet and increase intake of vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, grapefruits, and apples to boost immunity and support recovery.
