How much does craniofacial surgery cost? I need protruding bones removed from behind both my ears!?

I would like a real estimate or an educated guess. This is a very serious problem for me. I am a average normal looking guy, but people make fun of me because of this disfigurement. I don't think anyone else on Earth has this problem, people are really insensitive and they make everyday even more of a challenge than it should be. I feel that surgery is my only option, but I need a price to consider. A consultation alone would cost me $150. I wanna see if I can get a rough estimate here for free.

1. Prices usually include: -surgeon (and assistants) fee -anaesthetists fee -hospital charges -bed and recovery charges -any required garments and ofcourse costs will vary from city to city throughout the US.... In my opinion the average cost for this kind of surgery is $1,500. U should also know that costs varies from surgeon to surgeon and according to where they practice.
2. Bones removed priceless.....for everything else there is Mastercard!
3. If Health Insurance covers it, I think it will be under $1000; however, I don't think this is likely if they determine this to be a cosmetic issue. If the bone growth is impairing your lifestyle (some sort of health hazard), then insurance will help cover you. Without health insurance, my guess is the operation will cost somewhere between $5K-$10K, depending on how large the area is. If a cosmetic surgeon chimes in, you can probably get a better estimation, but you might need to provide more details. In the meantime, you might want to look into alternate hairstyles...a cosmetologist can probably recommend something to help de-emphasize or obscure that area. As for people making fun of you...that is just horrible. I think it might be a blessing in that you know immediately who your true friends are...the ones who can look past our imperfections and like us for who we are on the inside.
