MyMediTravel lists 91 clinics offering rhinoplasty in Thailand, 36 of which publish a starting price. Those prices run from $298 to $5,002, a seventeen-fold spread, with a median of $973. That is not a range for one operation. It is a range across several quite different procedures that all travel under the word "rhinoplasty" in Thailand, and the single most useful thing you can do before comparing two quotes is find out which one each clinic is quoting for.
Why the same word covers a $521 procedure and a $5,000 one
In Thailand, "rhinoplasty" at an aesthetic clinic usually means augmentation: building up the bridge with a silicone or Gore-Tex implant, sometimes with ear cartilage at the tip. It is a short procedure, often under local anaesthetic, and it is what most of the clinics at the lower end of the table below are offering. At a hospital, the same word more often means open rhinoplasty: reshaping the bone and cartilage, frequently using rib cartilage, under general anaesthetic with an overnight stay. Revision rhinoplasty, correcting a previous operation, costs more again and is a specialism in its own right.
The clinic listings do not always say which. Two clinics with a $1,000 gap between them may be quoting for different operations rather than charging differently for the same one. Ask, in writing: implant or cartilage, open or closed, local or general anaesthetic, and whether the figure includes the implant itself.

Read the table in three bands. Under $1,000 is dominated by aesthetic clinics and chains: Meko Clinic's four branches at $521, Machita's two in Chiang Mai at $736, and a run of Bangkok clinics between $553 and $806. $1,000 to $2,500 is where the best-reviewed dedicated cosmetic clinics sit: BellaMode at $1,389 with 38 reviews and a 4.9 rating is the most-reviewed clinic on the page. Above $2,500 is almost entirely hospitals: Bangkok Hospital, Bangpakok 9, Masterpiece, Asia Cosmetic, B.Care, plus Nirunda, which lists 80 doctors, more than any other clinic here.
Who has the surgical bench
Doctor counts on the listings are a rough proxy for whether you are booking a department or a person. Nirunda lists 80 doctors, Sikarin Hospital 42, Bangkok Hospital Bangkok 25, Bangkok Hospital Pattaya 17, Aikchol Hospital 14. At the other end, Dr. Kamthorn in Nakhon Si Thammarat and Dr. Boonchai in Bangkok are single-surgeon practices, and they bracket the entire price range, at $287 and $5,002 respectively. Neither model is wrong. A single surgeon who does every case is exactly what many patients want; a hospital department gives you an anaesthetist, an overnight bed and a second surgeon if something needs revising. For an implant augmentation the first is fine. For an open rhinoplasty with rib cartilage, ask where you will sleep that night.
Where they are
Fifty-nine of the 91 clinics are in Bangkok. Chiang Mai and Pattaya have five each, Pathum Thani four, Phuket three, and Hua Hin, Nonthaburi and Khon Kaen make up the rest. Chiang Mai is notable for having three priced clinics between $556 and $736 in a city that is cheaper to recover in than Bangkok, though for anything beyond an implant augmentation the hospital depth is in the capital.
How long to stay
For an implant augmentation, five to seven days: consultation, the procedure, a check at day two or three, and stitches out around day five to seven before you fly. For open rhinoplasty with cartilage grafts, plan ten to fourteen days: the splint comes off at about a week and most surgeons want to see you once more after that. Swelling is visible for weeks either way and the final shape settles over a year, so judge before-and-after photos at twelve months, not at six weeks.
What to ask before you pay a deposit
- Implant or cartilage? If cartilage, from where: ear, septum or rib?
- Open or closed technique, and local or general anaesthetic?
- Is the implant, the anaesthetist and an overnight stay included in the quoted figure?
- Who is the surgeon, how many rhinoplasties do they do a year, and will they be the one operating?
- What is the revision policy if the result needs correcting, and where would that be done?
