Most clinics quote AED 15,999 – AED 50,000, with the sweet spot for a standard case landing around AED 20,000 – AED 30,000. That single number on the ad rarely tells the whole story, so always ask for an itemised breakdown before you book.
Why Can the Bill Swing by 300 %?
- Open vs closed vs revision
- Open rhinoplasty (small external cut) costs more than closed (all incisions inside).
- Revision work on a nose that’s already been operated on sits at the top of the price ladder.
- Surgeon’s résumé
A doctor who’s trained in Europe or the US and carries a shelf of before-and-after albums will charge a premium—and usually has the wait-list to prove it. - Clinic overheads
JCI-accredited hospitals with overnight suites and 3-D imaging labs simply cost more than a day-surgery office. - Complexity inside your nose
Straightening bone is quick; rebuilding cartilage and fixing a crooked septum while refining the tip is not. - Extras that sneak in
Some quotes bundle every pill, scan and follow-up visit; others add them à la carte. Clarify this up front so the final invoice doesn’t sting.
What Should Be in the Package?
A transparent quote normally folds in:
- Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
- Operating-room time
- One-night hospital stay (if needed)
- Routine blood work, splint, tapes and first-week meds
- Three to five post-op check-ups
Anything outside—extra imaging, secondary corrections, take-home prescriptions—gets billed separately.

Can You Spread the Cost?
Plenty of Dubai clinics now run 0 % interest instalment plans spread over 12–24 months. Seasonal promos (think Ramadan or summer) can shave 5–10 % off the surgical fee, so timing your consult can literally save thousands.
Picking the Right Team
Cheap can turn expensive fast if you need a revision. Vet credentials: look for a specialist boarded in plastic surgery or ENT, a gallery of noses that match your ethnicity, and candid reviews on third-party forums. Book two or three consults; price differences often reflect experience, not marketing.
Recovery Reality Check
Bruising peaks at day three, fades by day ten. You’ll look presentable in public within two weeks, but the final contour keeps refining for up to a year. Follow the taping and sun-avoidance rules religiously; Dubai’s UV index is no joke.
Bottom Line
Budget around AED 25,000 for a straightforward primary nose job in Dubai with a reputable surgeon, more if you need grafts or a redo. Ask what’s included, compare plans, and choose safety over savings. Do that, and Dubai can deliver a nose—and a confidence boost—that feels worth every dirham.
