Nose Job Cost: Average Price, What Affects It & Financing

A nose job, or rhinoplasty, is surgery that reshapes the nose. Cost depends on the type of procedure, how much work is involved, and whether it is a first surgery or a revision of earlier work.

The figures below are published estimates with a check date of Oct 12, 2026. Some describe the surgeon's fee alone and some describe a procedure type, so read each label before you compare numbers with a quote.

According to ASPS, the average rhinoplasty fee is $7,637. Treat it as a starting point for the surgeon's fee alone. Facility charges, anesthesia, and medications are normally separate lines. Ask any office whether the price you were quoted includes them.

Different procedures involve different amounts of work, and prices follow. The numbers below are CareCredit averages for each type.

A few points help when reading the list:

• Open and closed rhinoplasty describe the surgical approach. The open type averages $9,144 and the closed type $7,245 in this source.
• Revision rhinoplasty, a repeat surgery to adjust earlier work, has the highest average at $14,574.
• Alarplasty, which reshapes the nostrils, and a non-surgical nose job are priced far below full surgery. The averages are $2,820 and $1,381.

Which approach fits you is a medical decision. A board-certified plastic surgeon can explain the options and what each one involves during a consultation.

• Procedure type. As the list above shows, tip work, nostril work, full surgery, and revision are priced differently.
• Surgeon. Fees may reflect experience and demand.
• Location. Offices in some markets may charge more than others.
• Facility. Hospitals, accredited surgical centers, and office suites may bill differently.
• Anesthesia. The type and the provider can change the total.
• Complexity. More extensive reshaping generally means more time in the operating room.

Cosmetic surgery is generally paid out of pocket. Rhinoplasty is sometimes performed for medical reasons, and a plan may treat that differently from a purely cosmetic request. Coverage varies by insurer and by plan, so call your insurance company before you book and ask what documentation they require. Get any approval in writing, and ask the surgeon's office to tell you how they bill so the codes match what your insurer expects.

Ask each office for an itemized written quote. It should list:

• The surgeon's fee
• The anesthesia fee
• The facility fee
• Medications and any follow-up supplies
• Follow-up visits, and whether they are included
• Policy and cost for a revision, if one is needed

Ask about the deposit, the payment schedule, and the cancellation terms too. Compare surgeons on the same itemized basis, and confirm board certification and the accreditation of the facility. Weigh qualifications and the thoroughness of the consultation alongside price.

The surgery fee is only one line on the bill. Several smaller costs can add up, and they are worth asking about before you commit:

• Pre-operative visits or imaging, if the office charges for them
• Prescriptions filled after the procedure
• Time off work, which is not on the invoice but still costs you
• Follow-up appointments outside any included window
• Extra procedures added after the consultation

Putting these in writing up front makes the comparison between offices much more reliable than comparing headline fees.

Ask the office to put these items in the quote, even if the answer is that they are included.

Many offices work with payment plans or medical credit lines. Before you sign, look at:

• Whether interest is deferred or charged from the start
• What the rate becomes after any promotional period
• Late and missed payment fees
• The total you will repay

A small monthly payment can hide a large total, so compare the full repayment cost across options.

Averages give a general range. Your quote comes from an in-person consultation, where the surgeon looks at what you want changed and the planned approach. Get two or three consultations with board-certified plastic surgeons, ask for the same breakdown from each, and compare the totals.
