If your main concern is the shape, projection, or position of the nasal tip, you may not need a full rhinoplasty. In many cases, a more focused procedure — tip-plasty or columelloplasty — can achieve a natural, balanced improvement with a quicker recovery.
One of the most common questions patients ask is:“How much does tip-plasty or columelloplasty cost?”

What Is Included in the £7,250 Surgical Fee?

Anaesthetist fees
Theatre and hospital costs
Day-case admission
Post-operative follow-up care
Your consultation fee covers a detailed assessment, discussion of goals, and expert advice on whether tip-plasty, columelloplasty, or a more comprehensive procedure is most appropriate.
What Is Tip-Plasty?
Tip-plasty focuses on reshaping the lower third of the nose. It can address:
A bulbous or wide tip
Drooping or under-rotated tip
Excessive projection
Poor definition
Asymmetry
Modern tip-plasty uses structural and suture-based techniques, refining the shape while preserving strength and natural movement.
What Is Columelloplasty?
Columelloplasty targets the columella — the strip of tissue between the nostrils.
It is commonly used to correct:
A hanging columella
A retracted or poorly supported columella
Nostril imbalance
Tip–columella disproportion
Columelloplasty is often performed alongside tip-plasty to create a harmonious nasal tip complex.
Why Choose Tip-Plasty or Columelloplasty Instead of Full Rhinoplasty?
These procedures may be suitable if:
Your concern is limited to the tip or columella
Your nasal bridge and bones are acceptable
You do not have significant breathing problems
You want a subtle, targeted refinement
If there are breathing issues, septal deviation, or nasal valve collapse, a septorhinoplasty may be more appropriate — this is discussed during consultation.
Recovery Expectations
Most patients can expect:
A small external splint for around one week
No internal nasal packing
Mild swelling, settling gradually over several months
Return to desk-based work after approximately 7 days
Because surgery is focused on the tip, recovery is often quicker than full rhinoplasty.
