Thanks to the surprisingly affordable nose reshaping cost in Pattaya, Thailand’s popular seaside town has become one of the go-to destinations in Southeast Asia for rhinoplasty. Here are a few things to bear in mind when making your decision:
1: What Type of Nose Reshaping Do I Want?
This is one of the biggest factors for medical tourists to consider when planning to have this procedure done abroad. Nose reshaping (also known as ‘ rhinoplasty ’ or a ‘nose job’) is as individual as you are and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. This means that prices, recovery times and choice of surgeon all vary enormously. Plus, you now have alternative options to surgery.
-
Dermal fillers
You may have heard of the “lunchtime facelift;” dermal fillers are the equivalent of a lunchtime nose job. Using the same hyaluronic gels that add volume to cheeks and lips, curves, bumps and lumps can all be corrected and a deviated septum appears straightened.
The downside? Fillers are usually temporary, but still typically last for 12-18 months.
-
Surgery
Again, the options here are multiple. Maybe you want just the tip removed, which is a lot less traumatic than work being carried out on your cartilage or nasal bone . This flexibility in terms of work means that costs and recovery times do vary.

These are average prices – your nose job may be a lot more, or a lot less, particularly if you opt for the dermal filler option.
It’s not always obvious just what kind of nose reshaping the clinics in Pattaya are offering, so do make sure you are absolutely clear. Fortunately, most clinics have English-speaking staff so you can ask away before booking. Alternatively, Medical Departures’ Customer Care Team are always available 24/7 to assist you, and our listings page features only quality-checked clinics, like Rajdhevee Clinic.
3: Recovery
Although you will probably want to squeeze in a bit of sightseeing during your trip to Thailand, holidaymaking needs to be planned around your recovery time. The good news is that only a few rest days are needed after surgery, but you should keep physical exertion to a minimum thereafter.
Bruising and swelling will subside gradually over the coming weeks, and if you have a nasal splint, it will be removed five to seven days later. All in all, it’s best to tick off your holiday activities before your surgery.
If you have fillers then your recovery will be fairly quick. A little swelling and perhaps some slight bruising may be noticeable, but nothing that should prevent full enjoyment of your time off in Thailand.
Getting Started
While the nose reshaping cost in Pattaya is temptingly low, it is always a good idea to do your own research before booking that flight. Search our many resources online for free, then contact a member of our Customer Care Team with any questions, or to book your appointment.
