Why it costs less than in the UK
Rhinoplasty in Tunisia usually costs less than in the UK. The lower price reflects lower operating costs in Tunisia - not a reduced standard for your own care. Below and throughout this site we explain exactly how your consultation, surgery and follow-up are organised, and the risks involved.
Your journey
How your treatment is organised
- 01
Initial consultation (remote)
A first consultation by video or phone to review your goals, medical history and photos, and to discuss whether surgery is appropriate for you.
- 02
Pre-operative consultation (in Tunis)
An in-person examination with Dr Hendaoui in Tunis, usually the day before surgery, to confirm the plan and answer your questions.
- 03
Surgery & recovery
Your operation, then a 5-night stay in total - 2 nights in the clinic and 3 nights' recovery accommodation (hotel, full board) - so you can be monitored before travelling home. The stay can be extended to 8 nights if you prefer to have your splint removed in Tunis before you fly.
- 04
Follow-up after returning to the UK (remote)
Written aftercare instructions before you fly, and remote follow-up once you are home. For urgent problems you should also contact your GP or an NHS service.
The difference
Why patients choose Dr Hendaoui
A named surgeon, not a platform
Your procedure is planned and performed by Dr Skander Hendaoui in Tunis - a specialist in maxillofacial and aesthetic surgery, registered with the Tunisian Medical Council (No. 16601) and practising since 2011, with a focus on rhinoplasty including complex and revision cases.
Honest about risks
Rhinoplasty is surgery and carries real risks. We set them out clearly rather than hide them, so you can make an informed decision.
A clear UK aftercare pathway
Once you are back in the UK you can reach an English-speaking coordinator by WhatsApp or email, usually within 8 hours (except in emergencies). For anything urgent you should also contact your GP or an NHS service.
Is rhinoplasty right for you?
Rhinoplasty is only suitable for adults (18+) and after an individual assessment. Not everyone is a suitable candidate. Like any surgery it carries risks, including bleeding, infection, changes to breathing, altered skin sensation, scarring, asymmetry, and results that don't meet your expectations; in some cases a further (revision) operation may be needed.
FAQ
- Is rhinoplasty painful?
- Rhinoplasty is generally not described as very painful, but you should expect some discomfort. In the first days most patients feel nasal congestion and a blocked-nose sensation, tenderness and swelling, usually managed with pain relief prescribed by the surgeon. Everyone's experience is different - the surgeon will discuss what to expect for your case during your consultation.
- How much does rhinoplasty in Tunisia cost?
- Packages start from £2,200 and include your surgery, surgeon's fee, clinic care, anaesthesia, airport transfers and a 5-night stay (2 nights in the clinic and 3 nights' recovery accommodation on a full-board basis). Flights are not included. The lower price compared with the UK reflects lower operating costs in Tunisia, not a reduced standard for your own care.
- How is aftercare handled once I'm back in the UK?
- Before you travel home, your surgeon will confirm you are fit to fly and give you written aftercare instructions, followed by remote follow-up. Once back in the UK you can reach an English-speaking coordinator by WhatsApp or email, usually within 8 hours (except in emergencies). For urgent problems you should also contact your GP or an NHS service, and we recommend travel insurance that covers elective surgery and complications.
- Where do the consultations take place?
- Your first consultation is remote (video or phone). A pre-operative consultation takes place in person in Tunis, usually the day before surgery. Follow-up after you return to the UK is remote.
