When considering a nose job, whether it’s a traditional rhinoplasty or a non-surgical rhinoplasty, there are a lot of factors to weigh up. One of the most significant for many patients is cost. If you’ve been researching nose reshaping treatments, you’ve probably noticed a wide range in costs—and that’s because surgical and non-surgical options are very different procedures with different outcomes, recovery times, and price points.

Here, we break down the key differences between the two procedures and discuss the costs involved, so you can make an informed choice.

What’s the Difference Between Surgical and Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Traditional Rhinoplasty (Surgical Nose Job)

A rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that can address the nose’s size, shape, and structure. This may include:

  • Adjusting the nasal tip.
  • Correcting asymmetry.
  • Reducing the overall size of the nose.

Rhinoplasty is a medical procedure performed under general anaesthesia in a hospital setting. Because it’s invasive, it requires a longer recovery time, with swelling and bruising often lasting several weeks.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Injectable Nose Job)

A non-surgical nose job, also called an “injectable nose reshaping,” is performed using dermal fillers. This procedure can be used to:

  • Change the bridge of the nose.
  • Disguise bumps or indentations.
  • Make the nose more symmetrical.

With an injectable nose job, you’ll typically experience:

  • Immediate results.
  • Minimal discomfort, with no anaesthesia required.
  • Short recovery time—most patients resume normal activities the same day.

How Much Does a Non-Surgical Nose Job Cost?

The cost of a non-surgical nose job isn’t a one size fits all approach. Howvwer, on average, costs start from:

  • Initial Consultation: $120–$150 (redeemable if you proceed with treatment).
  • Treatment Cost: Starts from $700.

How Does This Cost Compare to a Traditional Rhinoplasty?

Surgical rhinoplasty is far more complex and involves hospitalisation, general anaesthesia, and a longer recovery. For this reason, it comes at a much higher cost.

  • The average cost of rhinoplasty in Australia ranges between $8,000 – $20,000, depending on the complexity of the procedure and individual needs.
  • In cases where rhinoplasty is performed for medical reasons (e.g., correcting a breathing issue), Medicare or private health insurance may cover part of the cost.
