Rhinoplasty, more commonly known as a nose job is a cosmetic procedure to reshape a nose. Typically, this involves reducing the size to make it less prominent.
In recent years, nose job prices have decreased with the increase in demand for the surgery. Currently, the average price of a nose job in the UK is around £3,000. However, nose job prices are heavily influenced by a number of factors.
Training of the Surgeon
The amount of training and experience a cosmetic surgeon has will affect the cost of nose surgery the most. Furthermore, those with extensive experience of a particular procedure will have developed expertise in their field, allowing them to charge considerably more. These elite surgeons will receive lots of business through recommendations, often by high profile people.
Location of the Surgery
A surgery based in Harley Street, a hub for cosmetic surgery practices in the heart of London, will charge amongst the higher end of the spectrum. These types of surgeries tend to charge more as they may be seen as more prestigious.
The Cosmetic Surgery Service
Each nose operation is unique and has a different amount of work involved, directly affecting the cost of nose surgery. There is also pre and post operative care to consider when having a nose job. Some surgeries will offer more comprehensive after care to ensure that the nose heals properly so that there is no need for surgery in the future, involving more costs. Finally, the medication which is used, such as the type of anaesthetic, as well as the materials used and facilities of the clinic will determine nose job prices. These pricing factors can be discussed in greater detail at the consultation.
All of these factors play a part in determining the price of a nose job. If you have a budget, you must consider carefully what is most important for your individual situation.
