Rhinoplasty Costs in Toronto

At Ford Plastic Surgery, rhinoplasty typically starts at $15,000 before tax, with your exact fee based on your anatomy, goals, and the complexity of your procedure. Rhinoplasty costs in Toronto involve more than a single line item on a quote; they encompass the quality of your plastic surgeon, the safety protocols in your operating environment, and the support you receive throughout the process.

This page explains what factors contribute to your rhinoplasty cost, how it relates to your long-term value, why revision rhinoplasty is often more expensive, and the financing options that can make high-quality surgery more attainable.

How Much Does Rhinoplasty Cost at Ford Plastic Surgery?

As mentioned above, rhinoplasty at Ford Plastic Surgery usually begins around $15,000 (plus HST) for a primary cosmetic procedure. Your final fee reflects your customized surgical plan. It may be higher than this starting point, depending on your specific needs and whether your surgeon needs to address functional concerns or prior surgeries.

After your in-person assessment, we will provide you with a personalized written quotation that outlines your exact fee. This quote typically includes:

• Surgeon’s fee, including your procedure and scheduled follow-up visits
• Anesthesia fees
• Facility fees for the accredited surgical centre
• Overnight stay, if required
• Implants or medical devices, when applicable

What Affects the Cost of a Nose Job?

Several key factors influence the cost of a nose job, including your surgeon’s expertise, the complexity of your surgery, and the type of rhinoplasty you need. Not only is there a surgeon’s fee to consider, but you’ll also pay a fee for the anesthesiologist and your time spent in the operating room. Medical tests and postsurgical prescription medications may also be included in the cost.

Let’s take a closer look at what affects the price of rhinoplasty below.

Surgeon’s Expertise and Training

Your surgeon’s training and experience are major cost drivers. Rhinoplasty is widely considered one of the most technically demanding procedures in plastic surgery, requiring an elite level of skill to consistently produce excellent results.

Highly experienced and Royal College-certified surgeons often charge more due to their expertise and track record in delivering successful results. Training for rhinoplasty can take several years, and surgeons with extensive training and specialization in cosmetic or functional nose surgery tend to command higher fees.

Prioritizing skill and proven experience over price alone can help lower the likelihood of complications and reduce the chance of requiring corrective surgery later.

Practice Location

Where you choose to have your surgery can significantly affect the cost. In major metropolitan areas, where the cost of living is higher and the demand for cosmetic procedures is greater, rhinoplasty prices tend to be steeper. That being said, the price of rhinoplasty in Toronto may be lower than what you would pay in Manhattan, NY, but more than in a smaller city in Canada.

Type and Complexity of Rhinoplasty

The type of rhinoplasty you require also has a direct impact on the total cost. Ford Plastic Surgery offers:

• Primary cosmetic rhinoplasty to refine the bridge, tip, width, or length
• Functional rhinoplasty to improve breathing (typically combined with cosmetic refinement)
• Revision rhinoplasty to correct or improve upon a previous result

More complex cases may involve cartilage grafting, detailed structural work, or a combination of cosmetic and functional goals. These surgeries typically require longer operating times and more planning, which is reflected in the fee.

Nasal Injuries and Structural Issues

If your rhinoplasty is being performed to correct a nasal injury or long-standing structural issue, the severity of the problem will influence the overall cost. A simple fracture is very different from a nose with missing or significantly damaged cartilage, which may require using cartilage from another area, such as the ear or rib.

The more reconstruction required, the more time and expertise your procedure will demand.

Anesthesia and Facility Fees

Our plastic surgeons perform rhinoplasty while you are under general anesthesia at St. Thomas Surgical Centre, our on-site surgical facility. The type of anesthesia, the experience of the care team, and the quality of the facility all contribute to the overall cost, but they are also critical to your safety and comfort.

Pre- and Postoperative Care

Your cost covers more than “time in the OR.” It typically includes:

• Preoperative consultations and planning
• Any necessary medical tests
• Postsurgical prescription medications
• Multiple follow-up visits over your first year after surgery

This comprehensive care supports a smoother recovery and helps you achieve the best possible long-term result.

Primary vs. Revision Rhinoplasty: Why Costs Differ

Primary and revision rhinoplasty do not cost the same because they are not the same operation. Revision rhinoplasty is almost always more complex and more time-intensive than primary rhinoplasty. As a result, it typically costs more than a first-time nose surgery.

Several factors drive this difference:

• Scar tissue from previous surgery makes dissection and reshaping more challenging
• Altered or weakened structures may need to be rebuilt for proper support and contour
• Cartilage grafts may be required from the septum, ear, or rib
• Longer and more detailed preoperative planning
• Extended operating time in the surgical suite

Because the stakes are higher with revision surgery, it is especially important to choose surgeons who perform a high volume of rhinoplasties, including complex revisions. This helps protect your investment and gives you the best chance of achieving a satisfying and stable result.

Understanding Value: Why Cheaper Isn’t Always Better

The fee for rhinoplasty reflects more than just the surgery itself. A lower price may appear attractive at first glance, but it can be accompanied by trade-offs in experience, planning, or support.

Choosing surgery based mainly on a low fee can mean:

• Less specialized experience in rhinoplasty
• Rushed planning or more limited follow-up care
• An increased likelihood of an unsatisfactory result
• A higher chance of requiring revision surgery later

Conversely, surgeons with strong credentials, focused rhinoplasty expertise, and a refined aesthetic approach typically offer:

• A greater likelihood of results that fit your face and reflect your personality
• A nose designed to age naturally over time
• Close guidance and support through the entire healing process

If you’re weighing your options, it can be helpful to look at rhinoplasty through the lens of whether a nose job is worth the cost, considering your long-term confidence, nasal function, and result longevity—not just the price on the quote.

Financing Your Rhinoplasty in Toronto

Financing can help patients who are ready for surgery but prefer not to pay the entire fee upfront. By spreading the cost over time, many people find rhinoplasty more manageable without compromising on safety or quality.

Ford Plastic Surgery works with trusted financing partners, MediCard and Beautifi. These third-party providers offer payment plans to qualified patients, allowing you to:

• Break your surgical fee into predictable monthly payments
• Preserve your savings and cash flow
• Move forward with surgery on your preferred timeline, rather than waiting years to save the full amount

If affordability is a concern, you may find it helpful to explore how you can finance a nose job, including practical ways to budget and plan.

Does OHIP Cover Rhinoplasty?

OHIP does not cover cosmetic rhinoplasty, but some functional nasal procedures may be eligible for assessment. In other words, you should expect to pay for aesthetic changes yourself, while certain medically necessary components might qualify for provincial coverage.

During your consultation, your surgeon will:

• Determine whether your concerns are cosmetic, functional, or both
• Explain whether any part of the surgery may be considered medically necessary
• Clarify which portion, if any, may be assessed for OHIP and which costs are out-of-pocket

Even in cases where a functional component is approved, the cosmetic portion of rhinoplasty remains a self-funded investment.

Planning Your Rhinoplasty Investment

Rhinoplasty is a significant decision that combines both financial and personal considerations. Understanding how costs are structured in Toronto—along with the roles of surgeon expertise, case complexity, revision surgery, and financing—can help you plan your procedure with confidence.
