Rhinoplasty Cost in the US, UK, Korea, Turkey and China

Rhinoplasty prices are hard to compare because every source counts something different. Some quote the surgeon's fee only, some an all-in package with a hotel, and some the cheapest promotional case. This guide sets the published figures side by side and explains what each one includes.

How much does rhinoplasty cost?

In the US, the average surgeon's fee for rhinoplasty is USD 7,637, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (latest figures, 2023 data), and the society's 2024 range is USD 7,500–12,500. These figures exclude anaesthesia, the operating room and related costs, so the total you pay is higher.

In the UK, the NHS website gives GBP 4,000–7,000 for a private rhinoplasty. A 2026 comparison of five UK providers found GBP 4,000–7,500 for cosmetic rhinoplasty, with London prices 10–20% higher. In Canada, a 2026 financing company guide puts a first rhinoplasty at CAD 7,000–15,000, and in Australia private surgeons quote about AUD 13,990–18,990 for septorhinoplasty (2023–26). Cosmetic rhinoplasty is not covered by the NHS, Canadian provincial plans or Medicare.

How much does a nose job cost overseas, and what does the price include?

Advertised prices abroad are lower than in the US, UK, Canada or Australia, but they are not all comparable. A Turkish hospital group lists EUR 3,650–5,600 for an aesthetic rhinoplasty (2026), including the consultation, anaesthetist, one hospital night, the splint, medicines and first checks. Package versions with 5–7 hotel nights and transfers are advertised at about EUR 3,500–4,500 (2026). In Korea, a typical full rhinoplasty for a foreign patient is about KRW 4–7.5 million (2026 patient guide), usually without the hotel. One Bangkok hospital lists THB 207,000 for a reduction rhinoplasty with one night (2026).

China is comparable to Korea and Turkey, and cheaper than Thailand. Patients in China report paying a median of about CNY 29,000 (≈ USD 4,350) for a first combination rhinoplasty, mostly CNY 15,000–45,000 (≈ USD 2,250–6,700), and about CNY 30,000 (≈ USD 4,500) with rib cartilage (Chinese patient reports, 2025–26). Cosmetic surgery is self-paid in China. At a standard department, foreign patients pay the same listed price as local patients who pay without insurance; international departments charge more. Each hospital sets its own price for aesthetic surgery under a 2025 national rule, so your own quote depends on the hospital and the surgeon.

When you compare quotes, add the flights, about 7–14 days away from home (clinic pages usually advise this long before a long flight), and up to 2 weeks off work, which the NHS suggests. China also adds something to the trip: a full health checkup at a public hospital and a traditional Chinese medicine consultation can be done before surgery on the same visit.

How much does septorhinoplasty cost?

Septorhinoplasty, which reshapes the outside of the nose and straightens the septum inside, usually costs more than a cosmetic rhinoplasty alone. A 2026 UK comparison found GBP 5,000–9,000, the Turkish hospital group lists EUR 3,900–7,150, and the Bangkok hospital package for reduction plus septum correction is THB 265,000 (2026).

If you have a documented breathing problem, part of the cost may be covered at home. The NHS may offer surgery when it is needed for breathing, and Australia's Medicare pays rebates only for documented functional cases with a GP referral. In the US, insurers may cover the functional part, but the cosmetic part is paid separately, so ask for the two parts to be priced separately.

How much does a revision rhinoplasty cost?

A revision almost always costs more than a first rhinoplasty, because the surgeon has to work through scar tissue and often needs cartilage from the ear or rib. A 2026 UK comparison found GBP 5,500–10,000 for revision, a Canadian guide gives CAD 10,000–20,000 or more (2026), and Korean revisions using rib cartilage are quoted at KRW 9–15 million (2026 patient guide). In China, we found too few patient-reported revision prices to give a figure; a revision usually costs more than a first operation.

Revisions are not rare. A large US study found revision rates of 3.1% after a first septorhinoplasty and 11.0% after a repeat one (2016). That is one reason to put the surgeon first and the price second.

Can you pay in instalments, and do surgeons charge for revisions?

Many US and Canadian clinics work with financing companies that spread the cost over months, but these are loans, so read the interest terms after any promotional period. For surgery abroad, see paying for treatment abroad in instalments. Whether a surgeon charges for revising their own work varies from surgeon to surgeon, and even a waived surgeon's fee may still leave anaesthesia and facility costs to pay. Ask for the revision policy in writing before you book, wherever you have surgery.
