The Cost of Rhinoplasty in the UK
Rhinoplasty is consistently among the most requested cosmetic surgeries in the UK. By most peoples' standards having the procedure is not cheap, but a successful nose job can pay dividends when it comes to improving a person's confidence and self esteem. Consequently, many people believe the benefits outweigh the cost. But how much should you expect to pay?
The price of rhinoplasty can vary widely between individuals. This is, in part, due to the extent of work the individual requires. For instance completely reshaping the nose through the use of implants is going to cost more than simply correcting a deviated septum or removing a small dorsal hump. But you should also take into account that there are regional variations when it comes to cost, and it may be worth researching clinics and cosmetic surgeons outside your own county.

As a guide, rhinoplasty operations at a Bupa hospital will cost in the region of £3, 500. Private clinics vary greatly in how much they charge but the price tends to average around £3,900. However, some clinics and hospitals charge as much as £5,000.
It is important to remember that cost should not blind you to other important factors in choosing a clinic or surgeon to perform your rhinoplasty. While it is beneficial to shop around for a competitive quote you should always be considering which surgeon seems the most competent for performing a successful and safe rhinoplasty operation, and also which clinic you feel most confident in.
A badly performed nose job can cost you extra in the long term. Approximately 10 percent of rhinoplasty patients require further surgery. As operating on a nose which has already had work done is more complex and the functionality may also need correction, revision rhinoplasty usually costs more than original procedure.
