The Cost of Rhinoplasty in Tehran: What the Price Actually Includes

What does rhinoplasty actually cost in Tehran?

At Se Rokh, rhinoplasty starts between roughly 58 and 70 million toman depending on the surgeon, and the final figure for any given patient is confirmed only after the nose has been assessed. But in practice the question patients most need answered is not "how much" — it is "what does that number include, and what will be billed to me separately?"

Most financial friction after surgery does not come from the price itself. It comes from the blurred line between "the cost of surgery" and "everything else." Someone who assumed the quoted figure covered everything, and then receives a separate invoice, feels misled — even when the original quote was entirely fair.

This article draws that line clearly: the starting figure for each of the three Se Rokh surgeons, what is included in it, what is charged separately, and why no responsible surgeon quotes a final price without examining your nose.

This article is educational and does not replace an in-person consultation. Figures reflect 1405 (2026) and are updated as conditions change.

Starting prices for the three Se Rokh surgeons

Four qualifications, without which the table misleads:

• These are starting figures, not final quotes. The exact number follows an assessment of your nose and the real complexity of the operation.
• A separate 2 million toman charge covers consumables, billed independently by the clinic. It is not inside the figures above.
• Dr. Kia's figure refers to primary rhinoplasty. Revision cases are quoted separately.
• Figures reflect 1405 (2026) and are not fixed.

What is inside the number — and what is not

This is the most important table on the page. When we say "from 68 million toman," that figure covers all surgical and surgical-centre costs — no more, no less:

So a realistic total is: the surgeon's starting figure + 2 million for consumables + tests and medication. Those last three rows are usually small next to the surgical fee — but they feel large when nobody warned you about them.

The full list of required tests, and how long each stays valid, is in our guide to pre-rhinoplasty tests.

Why the three surgeons quote different figures

A 58-to-70 million spread between three surgeons in the same clinic is not arbitrary, and it is not about theatre quality — all three operate in the same centre to the same standard. The difference is what each surgeon brings to it:

• Training pathway: Dr. Hashemi is an ENT specialist with a fellowship in sinus surgery and rhinology, meaning formal additional training in the internal structure of the nose and the airway. Dr. Kia is an ENT specialist. Dr. Yousefian came to rhinoplasty through general surgery and facial aesthetics.
• Experience and case volume: years in practice and number of operations performed influence the fee — a pattern common to every surgical field.
• Case mix: a surgeon who accepts more complex and revision cases will naturally sit at a higher average.

One point deserves saying plainly: a higher fee alone does not guarantee a better outcome, and a lower one does not mean lesser quality. All three hold valid Medical Council registration and a documented record at this clinic. The right basis for choosing is the fit between a surgeon's expertise and your specific need — not their position on a price axis. If you are undecided, our guide to choosing a cosmetic surgeon offers more practical criteria.

Why the final figure waits for an assessment

"A nose job" is not one operation. Two people who look similar can need substantially different surgery. What moves a price above the starting figure:

• Thick-skinned versus bony noses: a thick-skinned nose carries more soft tissue; controlling swelling and achieving definition usually takes more work, and the result settles later.
• A deviated septum: correcting the septum alongside the aesthetic change makes the operation longer and more technical. That part is functional, and it is explained on our septoplasty page.
• Previous nasal surgery: scar tissue and an altered cartilage framework make a second operation considerably harder than a first.
• Breathing problems: when function must be corrected as well as appearance, the scope grows.
• How much change you want: a restrained, natural refinement is not the same operation as a full redesign of the tip and bridge.

This is why a surgeon who quotes a firm price sight-unseen is either shifting the risk onto you or will revise the number later. What rhinoplasty can and cannot achieve is set out on our rhinoplasty page.

Which photos to send for an accurate quote

To assess your nose and give a closer figure, four photographs are needed:

• Front view — facing the camera
• Right profile
• Left profile
• Base view — angled so the nostrils are visible

The conditions matter, and they directly determine how useful the answer can be:

• Photos should be sharp, without motion blur.
• No filters, no retouching — a filter alters precisely what needs assessing.
• The whole face in frame, not just the nose; how the nose relates to the rest of the face is part of the judgement.
• Even lighting, ideally daylight, without hard shadow on one side.

Once the photos arrive, your nose is assessed and you are guided from there. You can start from our contact page or book a consultation.

Revision cases: why no quote is given remotely

If you have already had nasal surgery, pricing requires an in-person examination, and the figure follows that examination based on how much reconstruction is needed. The reason is that what matters in revision surgery sits under the skin: how much cartilage remains, the state of the scar tissue, the stability of the framework — none of which a photograph shows. More detail is on our revision rhinoplasty page and in when to consider revision surgery.

Why the cheapest quote is not always the cheapest outcome

When comparing two numbers, make sure you are comparing two like things. Ask these directly before deciding:

• What exactly does this figure include? Are theatre and anaesthesia inside it, or separate?
• What is billed separately, and how much? Consumables, tests, medication.
• Are follow-up visits included? How many, and for how long?
• Where is the operation performed? A licensed surgical centre, or an office?
• If the result needs a minor revision, what are the financial terms?
• How long does the quote stay valid?

Two widely different quotes usually describe two different scopes of service, not two prices for the same thing. The real cost of surgery that does not give the result you wanted is not the original figure — it is the revision, which is almost always harder and more expensive than the first operation.

Before and after results

Before deciding on the basis of a number, look at the work. The images below are of real patients of this clinic, published with their consent:

When to see a doctor

An in-person consultation is necessary when:

• You have had previous nasal surgery (pricing is not possible without examination).
• You have a breathing problem alongside the aesthetic concern.
• You have a history of nasal trauma or fracture.
• You have an underlying condition or take medication that could affect surgery or anaesthesia.
• You are weighing two or three quotes and want to understand what actually differs between them.

Choosing a surgeon is a decision that stays with you for years; it is worth one appointment. All three surgeons' full profiles are in the doctors section, and further results are in the gallery.
