This procedure is ideal for patients who smoke, or have other medical conditions that can prevent the donor site from healing. Although there will be a scarring at the donor area, this procedure is much less invasive than other types.
Rhinoplasty costs
Although rhinoplasty is relatively affordable, it can still be expensive if you choose a well-known surgeon. A surgeon with a high profile reputation will charge more for the procedure that a surgeon without one. This is why it is important to do your research on the surgeon's credentials as well as read reviews from patients.

Recovery time after Rhinoplasty
The recovery time after rhinoplasty depends on the amount of work required, the extent of the procedure, and the patient's health. A person can expect to feel some discomfort and swelling for up to two to six consecutive days after the surgery. The swelling should subside after this time, and patients can return to work on the third day. The pain following rhinoplasty can last from one to three month, but in certain cases it can last upto a year.
