Non-surgical rhinoplasty typically costs between $700 and $1,800 in Australia, depending on the clinic, the practitioner’s qualifications, and sometimes, how much product is used. The wide range reflects genuine differences in the quality and safety of care, not just branding.
This guide breaks down what drives the cost, what the price tiers actually reflect, and what questions to ask before booking, so you can make a properly informed decision rather than just finding the cheapest option.
Quick answer: Non-surgical rhinoplasty in Australia costs $700–$1,800 on average. Budget clinics start around $700–$850. Doctor-led, medically supervised clinics typically charge $900–$1,500. Getting a non-surgical rhinoplasty in major cities like Sydney, or reshaping your nose non-surgically in Melbourne also typically comes with a higher price point. Cosmetic Connection operates on flat-fee pricing across our Sydney (St Leonards) and Melbourne (Toorak) clinics — no hidden charges or day-of upselling.
What does the price include?
The quoted price for non-surgical rhinoplasty should always include the full consultation, the injectable treatment, the procedure itself, and a follow-up review. In practice, some clinics separate these costs — charging for consultation separately or not including a review appointment or touch up treatment.
At a reputable clinic, you should expect:
- A pre-treatment consultation with a qualified practitioner (preferably a medical doctor)
- A detailed assessment of your suitability
- The injectable treatment product
- Anaesthetic
- The procedure itself
- A follow-up appointment post-treatment, typically in 2-4 weeks
- A touch up treatment, typically within 2-4 weeks
Further, some clinics include emergency dissolving if you have side effects from non-surgical rhinoplasty, while other clinics may charge a fee for this.
Ask specifically whether these are included before you book.
Why does pricing vary so much?
| Factor | Lower-cost clinics | Higher-cost clinics |
|---|---|---|
| Who performs the procedure | Nurse injector, high volume | Doctor-led or specialist injector |
| Consultation depth | Brief or nurse-led | Doctor-assessed, detailed |
| Suitability assessment | Minimal, not existant | Anatomy-specific, honest suitability check |
| Reversal agent availability | Not always confirmed | Always on-site |
| Follow-up & touch-up included | Often not included | Standard |
| Pricing transparency | Often variable | Flat-fee, confirmed upfront |
In Australia, cosmetic injectable treatments are Schedule 4 prescription medicines regulated by the TGA. A very low price point can indicate that appropriate medical supervision is limited or counterfeit products, which increases the risk of complications and reduces access to proper aftercare if something goes wrong.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty cost by city
| City | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sydney | $900–$1,800 | Higher cost of living reflected in pricing |
| Melbourne | $850–$1,600 | Competitive market, range is wide |
| Brisbane | $800–$1,200 | Slightly lower average |
| Gold Coast | $750–$1,500 | More variability |
| Perth | $600–$1,100 | Smaller market, fewer providers |
Is cheaper treatment worth the risk?
The nose has a dense network of blood vessels, and incorrect technique can cause vascular occlusion, where the injectable substance compresses or enters a vessel. According to the TGA, this is the most serious complication associated with facial injectable treatments and can lead to skin damage or, in very rare cases, vision loss.
This risk is manageable, but only when the practitioner has the training to recognise it immediately and appropriate reversal agents are on-site. These are not guarantees at every price point.
In our experience, people who have had complications from budget procedures often spend significantly more correcting the outcome than they saved initially.

Get started
Does Medicare or private health insurance cover this?
No. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by Medicare or private health insurance in Australia. There are no Medicare item numbers for elective cosmetic injectable treatments.
Some clinics offer payment plans through third-party providers such as Afterpay, Zip, or medical finance companies like Total Lifestyle Credit. Factor in any fees or interest charges when assessing the total cost.
How often will I need treatment?
Results typically last 12–18 months. This means the annualised cost of maintaining the result is roughly $700–$1,200 per year depending on your initial treatment cost and your individual response over time.
Some clients find that after 2–3 treatment cycles their longevity improves as residual effect from previous treatments persists. This is worth factoring into your overall budget decision.
Maintenance costs are often less than the initial treatment, as long as the procedure is repeated within a specified timeframe. This will vary from clinic to clinic, so it is important to confirm with the practice before you proceed.
Frequently asked questions
Is non-surgical rhinoplasty a one-time cost?
No. The injectable treatment gradually reduces over time. Most people return for a maintenance treatment every 12–18 months to maintain their result. The long-term cost is therefore recurring.
Do I pay per amount of treatment or a flat rate?
Both models exist. Variable pricing can create incentives to use more product. Flat-fee pricing, as used here at Cosmetic Connection, means the cost is fixed regardless of the volume used. This aligns the practitioner’s interest with using the right amount, not the most.
Does Medicare cover non-surgical rhinoplasty?
No. It is a cosmetic procedure with no Medicare item number. Private health insurance does not cover it either.
What is included in Cosmetic Connection’s pricing?
Our treatment fee includes the full consultation, the procedure, a follow-up review appointment, and a touch-up treatment within a generous timeframe. There are no add-on charges on the day of treatment.
