Nose job surgery, medically referred to as rhinoplasty, is the cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes the nose. Usually the reshaping involves reducing the size of the nose but some patients merely require that the nose be made symmetrical. There are two several reasons that a patient would require nose job surgery. One example would be to correct damage done to the nose or to help with breathing and the other would be for cosmetic purposes only. Nose job prices will vary from clinic to clinic and even from country to country.
Functional nose job
A functional nose job is a nose job surgical procedure done for the purposes of correcting a deformity caused by congenital issues, removing some kind of blockage that cannot be removed without surgery or, to improve poor breathing. Nose job prices or costs for functional purposes are more likely to be covered by the NHS than nose job costs incurred for cosmetic reasons.
Aesthetic nose job
Society today places a great deal of importance on appearance and it has been a common belief that first impressions do count. Having a nose that is so big that it takes attention away from the rest of the face is considered, by many, to be a social stumbling block, because so many people judge what a person’s character is by their facial features. This is not necessarily the case, but once this possibility is perceived by the person with the nose in question, it is enough to dent that person’s confidence and thus their ability to socialize without being self conscious.
Rhinoplasty or nose jobs under these circumstances are understandably necessary for the individual, but the cost of the nose job or the nose job prices, are unlikely to be met by the NHS. This is because the surgery is for aesthetic purposes and has no relationship to medical health.
Factors that influence nose job prices
The factors influencing the cost of a nose job are many. But by far, the clinic that performs the surgery as well as the type of surgery chosen will be the main factors.
The clinic – Each clinic and surgeon will often have different charges and fees depending upon the calibre and reputation of the surgeon performing the nose job.
Type of surgery – Depending upon how much tissue is to be removed and whether the tissue is bone or cartilage will also affect nose job prices because there is less work involved with just removing cartilage. However, if any bone is to be removed and reshaped the cost of the rhinoplasty procedure could increase considerably. Also, there may also be the need to add tissue.
Nose job prices in the UK start from around £3000.
