Rhinoplasty Cost in Brescia: prices and what is included

How much does rhinoplasty cost in Brescia? At Istituto Chirurgico Palazzo Manzoni, rhinoplasty of the nasal tip alone starts from €5,000, while full rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty with turbinoplasty start from €8,500, all inclusive. The exact figure is set after your consultation, in a written quote based on your nose.

If you are considering it, you have probably already come across very different figures online. In this guide we explain what the price covers, why two rhinoplasties can cost different amounts and what to factor in beyond the figure itself: the initial consultation, recovery time and follow-up visits. Prices for every procedure are listed on our plastic surgery costs page.

Rhinoplasty cost: starting prices

The cost of rhinoplasty depends first and foremost on how much work the nose needs. At Palazzo Manzoni the starting prices are:

• Nasal tip rhinoplasty only: starting from €5,000.
• Full rhinoplasty: starting from €8,500.
• Septorhinoplasty with turbinoplasty, which also corrects breathing in the same operation: starting from €8,500.

Secondary rhinoplasty, meaning the revision of a previous operation, has no starting price: it is assessed case by case, because it calls for specific experience and particularly careful planning.

Prices are shown as “starting from” because the same procedure can vary in extent and technique, and therefore in time spent in theatre. The figure shown is for the simplest case; the final price depends on the technique chosen, the extent of the surgery and the operating time.

What the rhinoplasty price includes

Our prices are complete. They include the surgeon, anaesthesia, the operating theatre, an overnight stay where needed and your follow-up visits after surgery, with the same surgeon who examined you. Every item is listed in the written quote, with no hidden costs.

This is always worth checking when you compare quotes. A price that covers only the surgeon’s fee and leaves out anaesthesia, theatre time or follow-up cannot be compared with an all-inclusive one. The Palazzo Manzoni quote is not tied to discounts or time-limited offers and has no expiry date: you can consider it calmly and clear up any doubts before deciding.

Why rhinoplasty cost varies from one nose to another

“Having your nose done” can mean very different things. A rhinoplasty on the tip alone is not a full rhinoplasty, and the difference in price reflects the difference in surgical work. There are three main technical options.

Tip rhinoplasty and profile rebalancing procedures focus on the nasal tip or on balancing the profile, taking into account the relationship with the chin and the midface where needed. Full rhinoplasty corrects the bridge, tip and proportions of the nose, using structural techniques that preserve the anatomical supports for a natural, stable result. Functional septorhinoplasty is chosen when the aesthetic correction goes hand in hand with a deviated septum or breathing difficulties.

What decides is not the technique alone but the diagnosis. A heavy profile may come from the bridge, from tip projection or from the relationship with the chin, and correcting the wrong element means the problem remains. That is why the final price is only set after the examination. You can read more about nose, eyelid and facial procedures on our face surgery page.

Did you know? Rhinoplasty is one of the oldest operations in surgery. Techniques for reconstructing the nose were already described in India around 2,500 years ago, and in the 16th century the Bolognese surgeon Gaspare Tagliacozzi set out its principles in his treatise “De curtorum chirurgia per insitionem”, published in 1597.

Septorhinoplasty: when breathing is corrected too

Many people who want to change the shape of their nose also have a deviated septum or struggle to breathe through one nostril. In these cases septorhinoplasty with turbinoplasty treats shape and function in a single operation, and therefore with a single recovery. The starting price is the same as for full rhinoplasty: starting from €8,500, all inclusive.

Did you know? The turbinates are small structures inside the nose that warm and humidify the air before it reaches the lungs. When they are enlarged they can obstruct airflow, which is why turbinoplasty, which reduces their volume, can be combined with septal correction in the same operation.

This is why the examination always includes an assessment of breathing, not just appearance. Even when the request is purely aesthetic, understanding how the nose breathes helps choose the right procedure and avoid having to go back to it later.

From consultation to written quote

The process begins with a plastic surgery consultation. It lasts about an hour and includes your medical history, photographs and an anatomical analysis of skin, cartilage, septum and facial proportions. Above all it is time to listen: what really bothers you about your nose, for how long, and in which situations.

The consultation costs €100, which is deducted from the price of surgery if you decide to go ahead. At the end you receive a written plan and, where appropriate, a detailed quote setting out technique, duration, anaesthesia, any overnight stay and the total price. A responsible consultation can also end with advice not to have surgery, or to choose a smaller procedure: rhinoplasty is only proposed when your anatomy allows a proportionate, stable result.

Surgery and recovery: what to factor in beyond the price

Surgery takes place in the Day Surgery theatres at Palazzo Manzoni, performed by the same surgeon who planned it. In most cases rhinoplasty is carried out under sedation, but the type of anaesthesia is decided case by case: a targeted tip procedure and a septorhinoplasty involving the septum and structure do not have the same requirements. Most patients go home the same day or, at most, after one night of observation, which is already included in the price.

Beyond the financial cost, allow for a few days of social downtime. The protective splint is removed after one week and the mild bruising around the eyes fades within 7 to 10 days. Discomfort is usually less than people expect; significant pain is rare and should be reported straight away. The fine settling of the shape takes longer and varies from person to person, and scar maturation is a process that can take up to a year. You therefore receive a plan outlining the healing stages, with scheduled follow-up visits included in the price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does nasal tip rhinoplasty cost?

Rhinoplasty of the nasal tip alone starts from €5,000, all inclusive: surgeon, anaesthesia, operating theatre, any overnight stay and follow-up visits. It is suitable when the concern involves only the tip and not the bridge or septum, which the examination will establish.

How much does septorhinoplasty cost?

Septorhinoplasty with turbinoplasty, which corrects shape and breathing in the same operation, starts from €8,500 all inclusive, the same as full rhinoplasty. The final quote is given after the consultation.

Do I have to pay for the rhinoplasty consultation?

Yes, it costs €100, which is deducted from the price of surgery if you decide to go ahead. It lasts about an hour and ends with a written plan, which may also be advice not to have surgery.

Can nose filler replace rhinoplasty?

Not when the problem is structural or functional. The shape of the nose depends on bone, tip cartilage, skin thickness and the septum: structures that a non-surgical treatment does not change. Filler can smooth out a small irregularity, but it does not make the nose smaller and does not correct breathing.
