If breathing difficulties or a nasal appearance you dislike affect your confidence, rhinoplasty offers a transformative solution. Yet navigating this intricate surgery can feel daunting. Direct Primary Care (DPC) transforms this journey by offering coordinated, empathetic support—so you can breathe and look your best.
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for aesthetics (e.g., dorsal hump) or function (deviated septum). Open (external) or closed (internal) techniques; recovery takes 2–6 weeks.
Key facts for patients:
Uses: Correct breathing issues, trauma deformities, or cosmetic concerns.
Safety: Low complication rates (5–10%); risks include asymmetry or infection.
Costs: Traditional clinics charge 5,000–15,000 USD; DPC reduces fees by 20–30%.
Risks of fragmented care:
Poor aesthetic outcomes requiring revisions.
Undermanaged post-op swelling or nasal obstruction.
Financial strain from unplanned touch-ups.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) operates on a membership model (150–300 USD/month), providing unlimited access to a provider who coordinates every phase—from consult to final results.
Nasal analysis: Use imaging software to simulate outcomes.
Surgeon collaboration: Partner with ENT or plastic surgeons for optimal technique.
Health optimization: Manage allergies, quit smoking, or adjust blood thinners.
All-inclusive pricing: Bundle pre-op labs, surgeon fees, and follow-ups.
Reduced fees: DPC members pay 4,000–12,000 USD vs. 15,000+ USD traditionally.
Mental wellness: Address anxiety about surgery or body image.
24/7 access: Message your provider about bleeding, pain, or breathing issues.
Post-op kits: Supply nasal splints, saline sprays, and scar creams.
Annual check-ups: Monitor for late complications or desired touch-ups.
