Most primary cosmetic rhinoplasties in Canada cost between $9,000 and $15,000, with complex or revision cases ranging up to $25,000. Location, surgical technique, and your surgeon’s expertise are the three biggest price‑drivers.
Next up: We’ll unpack why those numbers swing, compare prices coast‑to‑coast, and show you practical ways to budget for your rhinoplasty.
Why costs vary so widely
Rhinoplasty is one of the most individualized plastic‑surgery procedures—no two noses (or surgical plans) are alike. Fees vary according to:
- Surgeon experience & credentials – A Royal‑College board‑certified facial plastic surgeon with a deep rhinoplasty case‑log commands higher fees than a generalist.
- Type of rhinoplasty – Closed techniques are usually quicker (and cheaper) than open approaches, while revision rhinoplasty or grafting adds OR time and cost.
- Geographic location – Big‑city overheads push fees higher in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montréal, while smaller centres can be up to 30 % less.
- Facility & anaesthesia – Using a fully accredited private surgical suite, hiring a board‑certified anaesthesiologist, and longer OR time all add line‑items to the invoice.
- Case complexity – Deviated septum repair, spreader grafts, or ethnic rhinoplasty nuances increase surgical time (read: price).
- Revision status – Secondary or tertiary rhinoplasty is always pricier because scar tissue and missing cartilage make the operation far more demanding.
Average rhinoplasty prices across Canada (2025)
Below is a coast‑to‑coast snapshot of what Canadians actually pay for rhinoplasty in 2025—drawn from surgeon fee schedules, private financing records, and hundreds of real patient quotes.
These figures already bundle surgeon, facility, and anaesthesia into one ballpark estimate (GST/HST added at checkout), but expect the total to sway 20–30 % in either direction depending on your surgeon’s seniority, the finesse your nose needs, and whether you book in a major metro or a smaller centre.
| City / Region | Typical Range (primary cases) | Notes |
| Toronto, ON | $9,900 – $10,900 + anaesthesia | Large GTA demand and private-suite overheads. citeturn0search4 |
| Vancouver, BC | $9,000 – $16,000 (up to $25k complex) | Higher cost of living; strong cosmetic market. citeturn0search8 |
| Calgary, AB | $10,500 – $12,500 + GST | Mid‑range for Canada; surgeon experience drives top end. citeturn0search7 |
| Winnipeg, MB | $7,000 – $15,000 | Lower clinic overheads vs. larger metros. citeturn0search6 |
| Atlantic Canada & Prairies | From $5,000 | Smaller markets can undercut big‑city fees. citeturn0search1 |
| National average (all provinces) | $7,000 – $15,000 | Supported by multiple provincial quotes and national financing data. citeturn0search5turn1file2 |
Remember these figures bundle the surgeon’s fee, facility, anaesthesia and routine follow‑up, but GST/HST is extra in most provinces.

Hidden & “nice‑to‑have” costs
Even when you’ve nailed down the surgeon’s quote, it’s the little extras—from 3‑D imaging to Arnica gel—that can quietly swell your total. Think of these as the premium toppings on your pizza order: optional, but often worth it for comfort, certainty, and a smoother recovery. Knowing what might pop up in advance helps you decide which add‑ons are must‑haves for your peace of mind—and which ones you can safely skip.
- Consultation ($100–$300) – Many clinics credit this toward surgery when you book.
- 3‑D imaging ($150–$400) – Optional but popular for surgical planning and peace of mind.
- Prescription meds ($80–$200) – Pain control, antibiotics, saline rinses.
- Post‑op supplies ($60–$120) – Nasal dressings, splints, Arnica gel, etc.
- Travel & accommodation – If you’re flying to a major centre, budget flights, hotel and time off work.
When will public health insurance (OHIP, MSP, etc.) pay?
Provincial health plans only cover functional nasal surgery—for example, repairing trauma or severe breathing obstruction. If your primary goal is cosmetic reshaping, you’ll pay out of pocket, even if the surgeon also fixes a deviated septum at the same time.
Financing your rhinoplasty
Paying five‑figures upfront isn’t realistic for everyone. Luckily, Canadians have several options:
- In‑house payment plans – Many private clinics let you split the bill into 6‑ or 12‑month instalments.
- Specialized medical lenders – Providers like Beautifi, Medicard or iFinance approve loans up to $40,000 with terms from 12–84 months.
- Personal loans / lines of credit – Banks often offer better rates if you have strong credit.
- 0 % promo credit cards – A good short‑term bridge if you can pay the balance before the teaser rate ends.
💡 Pro tip: Our clinic partners with Beautifi so you can secure flexible monthly payments before your surgery day. Read our guide on plastic‑surgery financing in Canada for detailed tips.
Cost vs. value – choosing the right surgeon
- Board certification matters – Look for “FRCSC” or “ABFPRS” after your surgeon’s name.
- Rhinoplasty focus – Check before‑and‑after galleries and ask how many rhinoplasties they perform each year.
- Safety record – Accredited OR, certified anaesthesiologist, hospital privileges.
- Communication – A surgeon who listens, sets realistic expectations, and explains revisions & fees clearly is worth every penny.
Saving $2,000 by choosing a discount provider can cost far more if you need a revision later. As the saying goes: “Buy nice or buy twice.”
Frequently asked questions
How much does rhinoplasty cost in Canada?
Most patients invest $9k–$15k for a primary cosmetic nose job, with major metro areas on the higher end and complex revisions up to $25k.
Does non‑surgical (filler) rhinoplasty cost less?
Yes. Hyaluronic‑acid “liquid nose jobs” run $1,000–$1,500 but need maintenance every 12–18 months, so they can exceed surgical costs over time.
What’s included in the quoted price?
Typically surgeon, facility, anaesthesia, standard follow‑ups and splints. Ask whether imaging, meds, or revision insurance are extra.
How soon can I finance my procedure?
Approval with Beautifi or Medicard often takes minutes online; funds are paid directly to the clinic once you’re cleared.
Is rhinoplasty ever tax‑deductible?
Purely cosmetic procedures aren’t. If a certified ENT documents functional obstruction, the functional portion may qualify as a medical expense — ask your accountant.
