How much does a nose job cost in the UK? Cosmetic rhinoplasty typically costs £4,000 to £7,500 at a private clinic. If you also need functional correction for breathing problems (septorhinoplasty), expect to pay £5,000 to £9,000. Non-surgical rhinoplasty using dermal filler starts from around £300 per session.
Rhinoplasty prices by procedure type
| Procedure | Typical cost | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic rhinoplasty | £4,000–£7,500 | Reshaping the nose for appearance (hump removal, tip refinement, width reduction) |
| Septorhinoplasty | £5,000–£9,000 | Cosmetic reshaping combined with correction of a deviated septum for breathing |
| Revision rhinoplasty | £5,500–£10,000 | Correcting or improving a previous rhinoplasty result |
| Non-surgical rhinoplasty | £300–£800 | Dermal filler injections to smooth bumps or adjust symmetry (temporary, 12–18 months) |
Non-surgical rhinoplasty can address minor cosmetic concerns at a fraction of the cost, but results are temporary (lasting 12 to 18 months) and it cannot reduce nose size. It is not suitable for breathing problems.
What is included in a rhinoplasty quote?
A comprehensive rhinoplasty price should cover:
- Initial consultation — assessment with the surgeon, discussion of goals, and imaging (£50–£200 if charged separately)
- Surgery and anaesthesia — the procedure itself under general anaesthetic, typically 1.5 to 3 hours
- Overnight hospital stay — one night in hospital is standard for surgical rhinoplasty
- Post-operative care — nasal splint, dressings, and pain medication
- Follow-up appointments — typically 2 to 3 visits over 6 to 12 weeks for splint removal, check-ups, and review
Some clinics advertise a lower headline price that excludes the consultation fee, anaesthetist costs, or overnight stay. Always ask for the total all-inclusive price before committing.
Provider comparison
| Provider | Starting price | Includes | Finance available |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transform | From £4,500 | Consultation, surgery, overnight stay, aftercare | Yes, from £79/month |
| MYA Cosmetic Surgery | From £4,495 | Surgeon consultation, surgery, 1 night stay, follow-ups | Yes, from £69/month |
| The Private Clinic | From £6,000 | Consultation, surgery, aftercare package, dedicated patient coordinator | Yes |
| Harley Medical Group | From £4,750 | Consultation, procedure, hospital stay, 3 follow-ups | Yes, from £89/month |
| Spire Healthcare | From £5,000 | Consultant-led care, hospital stay, follow-ups | Yes |
Prices vary significantly based on the surgeon's experience, the complexity of the procedure, and the clinic's location. London-based clinics typically charge 10 to 20 per cent more than those outside the capital.
What affects the price?
Several factors influence the total cost of rhinoplasty:
- Surgeon experience — a consultant plastic surgeon with a specialist interest in rhinoplasty will charge more than a general cosmetic surgeon
- Procedure complexity — straightforward tip refinement costs less than a full structural rhinoplasty
- Location — London and the South East have higher clinic overheads
- Hospital vs day case — some simpler procedures may be done as a day case, reducing costs
- Revision surgery — correcting a previous rhinoplasty is technically more difficult and costs more
NHS availability
The NHS does not fund cosmetic rhinoplasty. However, you may be eligible for NHS treatment if:
- You have a deviated septum causing significant breathing difficulties
- Your nose was damaged by injury or trauma
- You have a congenital abnormality affecting breathing
In these cases, the procedure is a septoplasty (functional correction only), not a cosmetic rhinoplasty. The current NHS waiting time for septoplasty is typically 12 to 18 months from GP referral to surgery. Your GP must first refer you to an ENT specialist, who will assess whether surgery is clinically justified.
Recovery timeline
| Timeframe | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Day 1–7 | Nasal splint in place, bruising around eyes, swelling, rest required |
| Week 1–2 | Splint removed, most bruising fades, can usually return to desk work |
| Week 2–4 | Swelling reduces noticeably, can resume light exercise |
| Month 1–3 | Most visible swelling resolved, nose shape becomes clearer |
| Month 6–12 | Final result emerges as residual swelling settles completely |
Most patients take 1 to 2 weeks off work. You should avoid contact sports for at least 6 weeks and protect the nose from sun exposure during recovery.
Risks and safety
Rhinoplasty is a significant surgical procedure. Before proceeding:
- Ensure your surgeon is on the GMC Specialist Register for plastic surgery
- Check that the clinic or hospital is CQC registered (Care Quality Commission)
- You are entitled to a two-week cooling-off period between consultation and surgery — any reputable clinic will honour this
- Ask to see before-and-after photos of the surgeon's previous rhinoplasty patients
- Discuss realistic expectations — computer imaging can help visualise potential outcomes
Common risks include infection, bleeding, asymmetry, breathing changes, and dissatisfaction with the cosmetic result. Revision surgery may be needed in around 5 to 10 per cent of cases.
Financing rhinoplasty
Most cosmetic surgery providers offer finance plans:
- 0% finance — available for 12-month plans at some clinics
- Low-interest finance — 24 to 60 months, typically 9.9% to 14.9% APR
- Monthly payments — from approximately £69 to £120/month depending on the total cost and term
Finance is subject to credit approval. Ensure you understand the total amount repayable, not just the monthly figure.
