If you are someone who is dissatisfied with the appearance of your nose, something that you may have considered is undergoing a rhinoplasty procedure, a popular form of cosmetic surgery.
It can be challenging to live with insecurities that you have, especially when they’re centre stage on your face, and if your nose is really bothering you and fillers have not had the effect you’d like, surgery is the next step.
Unless your nose is causing real medical problems, such as breathing difficulties, it’s unlikely that you will be able to receive the surgery under the National Health Service due to a lack of medical necessity. If you’re serious about undergoing the procedure, something that you will have to consider is the cost.
At New Birkdale Clinic, our surgeons regularly perform rhinoplasties, and we take pride in being highly knowledgeable about this plastic surgery procedure. In this guide, we will outline everything we know about rhinoplasty prices in the UK in 2025.
What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery, is a type of surgical procedure aimed at altering the shape and profile of the nose.
This cosmetic operation can include various techniques such as nose reduction to diminish size, nose augmentation to enhance projection or shape, or other modifications to refine facial harmony and meet the patient’s aesthetic goals. Cosmetic rhinoplasty is particularly popular among those seeking to improve their facial appearance.
Typical Cost of a Rhinoplasty in the UK
Every clinic or surgery has the right to charge its own price for the cost of the procedure, but as of 2025, the average rhinoplasty prices in the UK range from £7,000 to £13,000, depending on whether you get a closed or open rhinoplasty.
Closed rhinoplasties fall at the lower end of the cost spectrum, starting at around £6,000 as of 2025, with open rhinoplasties significantly driving up the cost. These prices often include anaesthesia costs and facility fees, but it’s important to clarify what’s included in the quoted price.
What Drives the Cost of Rhinoplasty?
There are a lot of factors that can determine the overall cost of a rhinoplasty procedure, including:
Surgeon and Clinic
A big driving factor for the cost of rhinoplasty procedures is the surgeon you are working with. Depending on the clinic you are attending, the cost of the procedure may be significantly increased if it’s being carried out by a well-known surgeon with decades of experience.
Though experience is valuable in this industry, experience does not necessarily mean that the surgeon is the best person for giving you the results that you’re looking for. At New Birkdale Clinic, we only work with experienced industry professionals, which is why our procedures are not priced by the surgeon in our facial surgery pricing list. We price consistently across the board because we know that all our surgeons deliver quality work.
Clinics may have a premium reputation to uphold, and therefore charge premium prices to reflect the reputation they are seeking to portray. This is something to consider when choosing a clinic to receive your care. Some clinics offer all-inclusive packages or treatment packages that can provide better value for patients.
Complexity of the Procedure
More often than not, when someone undergoes a rhinoplasty, the complexity of the procedure may be more than what was first imagined. Altering key points of your face can often disrupt your facial balance, so you may choose to have a rhinoplasty and chin implants together to enhance your facial harmony.
If you choose to undergo additional procedures during your rhinoplasty, these will incur an additional cost. However, you can often save money by having these procedures done simultaneously rather than on two separate occasions.
Geographic Location
Much like everything in the UK, geographical location can have a significant impact on the cost of your procedure. Generally, in the UK, procedures tend to be more expensive in the south than in the north.
If you live in a more isolated area and are looking to use a local clinic, you should also expect costs to be higher there, as they may not need to price as competitively. It’s recommended that you consider your geographical location when determining where you’d like to have your surgery. Some patients even consider medical travel options, such as rhinoplasty abroad, which can sometimes offer cost savings, though it’s crucial to research thoroughly and consider potential risks.
Pre-and Post-Operative Care
Your pre- and post-operative care may also impact the price of your rhinoplasty. Depending on where you go for your surgery, steps of the process, like follow-up appointments and consultations, may be priced separately.
Before undergoing your procedure, you may need blood tests or other medical evaluations, which may incur additional costs. Be sure to set aside the necessary funds to cover any unexpected expenses not included in your procedure.

FAQs
Is rhinoplasty 100% safe?
Rhinoplasty is generally very safe when performed by qualified surgeons, but no procedure is completely risk-free. At The New Birkdale Clinic, we prioritise patient safety with experienced specialists and thorough pre-surgery assessments to minimise risks.
How painful is a rhinoplasty procedure?
You won’t feel pain during surgery, as it’s done under general anaesthesia. Afterwards, most patients report mild discomfort or pressure, which can be managed easily with prescribed medication.
Can you reshape your nose without surgery?
Yes, non-surgical rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers to smooth bumps or refine shape without downtime. Results are temporary, usually lasting 6–18 months, and not suitable for major corrections.
What is the failure rate of rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty has a high success rate, though around 5–15% of patients may seek minor revisions. Choosing an experienced surgeon greatly reduces this risk and ensures more precise results.
