If you have spent an evening searching what a non-surgical nose job costs in the UK, you will have noticed two things. The prices sit in a very wide band, and almost all of them are written as “from”. That word is doing a lot of work. It means the number you read is the smallest one the clinic will ever charge, and the number you pay gets decided once you are sitting in the chair.
I do it the other way round. I am Natasha, I run House of Glam HQ in Southsea, and I inject every nose myself. There are two nose treatments on my list and both prices are printed: £150 for the Pixie Tip Lift and £180 for the 1ml liquid rhinoplasty. Nothing is quoted after you arrive.
This is the money side of the decision, written out properly: what the price covers, what it costs to keep, what happens to that money if you want the filler taken back out, and the things nose filler cannot do at any price.
How much does a non-surgical nose job cost in the UK?
There is no single national figure, and anyone who gives you one is guessing. What changes the price is the amount of filler used, who is holding the needle, and whether the clinic charges the assessment separately. Some clinics quote per millilitre, so the total moves depending on how much goes in on the day.
Here is my list in full, with nothing held back until you are sitting down.
| Treatment | Price |
|---|---|
| Pixie Tip Lift, the tip only, about 45 minutes | £150 |
| Liquid rhinoplasty, up to 1ml across the bridge and tip, about 45 minutes | £180 |
| Assessment booked on its own, deducted from your treatment if you go ahead | £15 |
The £15 is the only figure that needs explaining. A consultation here is never free. It is booked and paid for on Fresha, and it comes off the treatment if you decide to go ahead. Book a treatment directly and the assessment happens at the start of that appointment with no separate fee. Klarna spreads either treatment over three monthly payments, so £180 is £60 a month and £150 is £50.
What you are actually paying for
The £180 is not a syringe of filler. It is a 45-minute appointment with one person, and most of what makes a nose treatment go well happens before any filler is used.
You are paying for the assessment: looking at the nose from the front and in profile, going through previous filler, previous surgery and your medical history, and being told which of the two treatments fits, or that neither does. You are paying for the product, which here is CE-marked hyaluronic acid: Juvederm, Restylane or Belotero, blended with lidocaine for comfort and dissolvable with hyaluronidase. Nothing permanent, no calcium hydroxyapatite, no poly-L-lactic acid. And you are paying for the time to do it slowly, sitting you up between placements so the profile can be checked as it goes.
The nose carries more risk than most areas for filler, because of the vessels that run through it. That is the honest reason the appointment is 45 minutes for a small amount of product, and the reason I would rather turn a booking away than rush one.
What it costs to keep
Nose filler is not permanent. Results typically last 9 to 12 months, and how long yours lasts depends on your metabolism, how much filler was used and what you do with your face for a living. After that it softens and you decide whether to top it up.
So the fair way to look at the cost is not one number, it is a running one. This is my own arithmetic on my own published prices, on the basis of one treatment a year. It is arithmetic, not a promise.
| How far in | Liquid rhinoplasty | Pixie Tip Lift |
|---|---|---|
| First treatment | £180 | £150 |
| About a year in | £360 | £300 |
| About two years in | £540 | £450 |
| About three years in | £720 | £600 |
Some people have one treatment, enjoy it for a year and never come back. That is a perfectly good outcome and I would rather you knew the running figure before you started than found it out in month eleven.
What a non-surgical nose job will not do
Filler adds. It never takes away. Once you have that straight, most of the rest follows.
It cannot make your nose smaller. It can straighten the line of a bump by filling above and below it, so the bridge reads as one line rather than a step, but the nose is not reduced — it is made straighter. If a smaller nose is the goal, surgery is the honest answer and I will say so rather than take the booking.
It cannot correct a deviated septum or anything affecting how you breathe. That is a surgical question. It cannot fix structural asymmetry, though mild side-to-side differences can often be evened out. And it is not permanent, which is either the drawback or the whole appeal depending on how you feel about committing to a face for life.
I have written the longer version of that comparison in my guide to nose jobs without surgery.
Is non-surgical rhinoplasty worth it?
I can only answer that in terms of what you are comparing it against.
Against surgery, the maths is not close. The NHS puts the cost of nose reshaping in the UK at £4,000 to £7,000, before consultations and follow-up care, with weeks of recovery and a permanent result. Filler is a fraction of that, takes 45 minutes, needs no time off and can be dissolved. But it is doing a different job, and if what you want is genuinely a smaller nose, spending £180 on filler is money spent on the wrong treatment.
Against doing nothing, it comes down to whether the thing that bothers you is something filler can change. A bump in profile, a tip that drops when you smile, a bridge with no height. Those are the ones people are happiest with afterwards. A nose you dislike in a general way, without one feature you can point at, is the one I would ask you to think about for longer.
What is the regret rate for nose jobs?
I am not going to give you a percentage, because I have not seen a figure for non-surgical nose filler that I would be willing to stand behind, and an invented one is worse than none.
What I can tell you is the part that matters practically. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which means a result you are unhappy with is not a result you are stuck with. That is precisely why nothing permanent is used here. It is also why I would rather under-fill at the first appointment and add a little more later than the reverse: you cannot un-see too much, but you can always top up.
What is the hardest nose to fix?
The ones that need taking away rather than adding to. A large nose, a wide nose, a bulbous tip where the issue is volume rather than shape. Filler cannot help with any of those, and adding to them usually makes the thing you dislike more obvious rather than less.
After that, a nose that has already had surgery is the most careful case. It can sometimes be treated, but the tissue behaves differently and it needs assessing properly first. And if you already have filler in your nose from somewhere else, I need to know what and when before anything goes in.
Will the NHS pay for a non-surgical nose job?
No. Nose filler is cosmetic, so it is paid for privately wherever you have it. The NHS does carry out nose surgery in some circumstances, where breathing is affected or after an injury, but that is a referral through your GP for a functional problem, not a route to a cosmetic result, and it is not the same treatment as this one.
What if I want it taken out?
Then it comes out. Dissolving facial filler starts at £180, and it needs a patch test and consultation at £15 at least a week beforehand, because hyaluronidase is the one product here that needs testing before it is used. So the honest full picture is that £180 of filler can become £195 of dissolving if you change your mind entirely.
I would rather you had that number in front of you now. Most people never need it, but a price list that only shows you the pleasant half is not a price list.
What the first two weeks look like
You will see the change the same day, though mild swelling can blur it for a day or two. Keep glasses off the nose for 48 hours, skip the gym and alcohol for 24, and leave it alone rather than pressing at it. Bruising at the injection points is possible and usually settles within a couple of days.
The settled shape is fair to judge at around two weeks. Before that you are looking at swelling as much as filler, which is why I ask people not to make up their minds in the first few days.
Booking it, and what it costs in Portsmouth
Both treatments are done by me at 1A Auckland Road East, Southsea, and both are booked on Fresha with live availability. The full detail on each one, including who each suits, is on the non-surgical nose job page for Portsmouth.
- Book the Pixie Tip Lift — £150, for the tip on its own.
- Book the 1ml liquid rhinoplasty — £180, for a bump on the bridge or a droop.
- Book the £15 assessment if you are not sure which fits. It comes off the treatment.
If you would rather ask first, message me on WhatsApp or call 07831 846273, and I will answer honestly, including when the answer is that filler is not the right route for your nose. Klarna spreads either treatment over three monthly payments. The nearest treatments to this one are dermal fillers, and you can see what every filler area costs in my dermal filler price guide.
