UK rhinoplasty prices by provider

Each provider's own price page, checked 31 Oct 2026 [2] to [8]. Each provider counts once in the range, at its lowest price for a full rhinoplasty (for Harley Surgical Group, the closed operation). The middle of the 11 prices is £9,495.

These are published "from" and guide prices. Nuffield Health says you are given "a fixed all-inclusive price for treatment following your initial consultation with a Consultant" (checked 31 Oct 2026) [3].

What affects the price of a nose job in the UK?

The published prices show where the differences come from:

• Which hospital, and where: Nuffield Health lists £6,105 at Wolverhampton and £9,825 at Woking, and Spire lists from £5,318 at Liverpool and from £9,747 at Southend-on-Sea [2] [3].
• How much surgery: Harley Surgical Group lists the nose tip only from £6,500, a closed rhinoplasty from £7,500, an open rhinoplasty from £7,900, and an open rhinoplasty with a graft from £8,500 [4].
• Combined work on the inside of the nose: septorhinoplasty is £8,900 to £9,500 at Harley Surgical Group, and Mr Mark Solomos lists an open septorhinoplasty with alar base reduction at £14,500 [4] [7].
• The surgeon: Spire says the price "can increase depending on your choice of Consultant" [2].
• Tests before surgery: Nuffield says diagnostic or investigative tests "are charged for separately" [3].

The NHS describes the two ways the operation is done: "either making a cut across the skin between the nostrils (open rhinoplasty), or tiny cuts inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty)" [1].

What's included in a UK rhinoplasty price?

Each provider words it differently, so compare quotes line by line:

• Spire Healthcare: the price covers the initial consultation, "all the pre-assessment tests and the cost of the treatment, Consultant and Anaesthetist fees, nursing care, medication and food during your stay", and aftercare including stitch removal, dressings and medication "for up to 14 days after you leave hospital" [2].
• Nuffield Health: the guide price "is an approximation of the cost of treatment only" [3].
• Harley Surgical Group and The Harley Medical Group: the price given after consultation covers the procedure, the overnight stay and aftercare appointments [4] [5].
• Mr Mark Solomos: "All-inclusive guide prices", performed "in a CQC-registered facility" with "full aftercare" [7].
• Mr Jag Chana: fees "include hospital, surgical and anaesthetic fees for the duration of your stay" [8].

The NHS says "You'll probably need to stay in hospital for 1 or 2 nights" [1], so check how many nights a price includes.

What's not included?

Ask each provider, in writing, whether these are in the price:

• The first consultation (£200 to £300 at the providers above that list it separately) [2] [7] [8]
• Tests and scans ordered after the consultation
• A second night in hospital
• Any further surgery if you are not happy with the result
• Time off work and travel to follow-up appointments

The NHS says: "You should also factor in the cost of any consultations, further surgery or follow-up care you may need" [1].

Can you get a rhinoplasty on the NHS?

Rarely. The NHS says cosmetic surgery "is not routinely provided on the NHS", and that it might pay for "nose reshaping (rhinoplasty) – if you have breathing problems" [9]. A GP can tell you whether a referral is possible.

The NHS website gives a UK cost of £4,000 to £7,000 for nose reshaping, on a page last reviewed in September 2023 [1]. Of the 11 prices we checked on 31 Oct 2026, 2 fall in that range.

Recovery time and what to plan for

Recovery affects the real cost, because of time off work. In the words of the NHS and BAPRAS, the UK body for plastic surgeons:

• "You may need to take up to 2 weeks off work to recover from nose surgery" (NHS) [1].
• "It might be several months before you see the full effect of the operation, and up to 6 months for the swelling to completely go" (NHS) [1].
• For surgery on the tip, "60% of the changes will be apparent after three weeks, while the remaining 40% of the changes will evolve over several months or even a year" (BAPRAS) [10].
• "Some patients will be dissatisfied with the outcome of a nose reshaping operation" (BAPRAS) [10].

The NHS lists what could go wrong, including "permanent breathing difficulty" and "an altered sense of smell" [1]. Your surgeon should explain how likely each risk is for you.

Choosing a surgeon in the UK

The NHS says to "check with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to see if the hospital or clinic is registered with them", and to "check the surgeon is registered with the General Medical Council (GMC)" [1]. It adds: "They should be listed on the specialist register and have a licence to practise" [1]. You can search the GMC medical register and the CQC yourself.

Rhinoplasty abroad: cost and checks

Clinics' own price lists put a rhinoplasty at £2,202 to £2,995 in Turkey (10 price lists covering 21 clinics), £2,971 to £3,480 in Lithuania (7 price lists) and £3,961 to £4,764 in Poland (7 price lists), checked 6 Oct 2026 [11]. In Spain, 3 price lists covering 6 clinics give £3,578 to £6,366 [11]. Too few price lists are held for Belgium and the Czech Republic to quote a range. Flights and hotel nights come on top.

The NHS warns that overseas clinics "may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK" [12], and says you should have "2 consultations with the surgeon treating you before any surgery" [12].
