hi! I have a deviated septum & will be getting a septoplasty to improve my breathing. but I also don't like the shape of my nose & was thinking of getting a rhinoplasty added onto the procedure. the septoplasty will be completely covered by insurance, but I was wondering how much out of pocket I would have to pay for the additional rhinoplasty. I heard that it is less expensive if you get it done all at once. please give your expertise on the additional cost, thankyou (:
When considering nasal surgery it is critical to consider both the functional and cosmetic aspects of the nose that need to be addressed. Often times, changing the appearance of the nose requires maneuvers that ensure structural support of the nose at the same time. If at all possible it is beneficial not only financially but surgically to combine functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty in order to get the best outcome and avoid future nasal surgery in the future.
I would like to have facial plastic surgery rhinoplasty, chin implant, cheek implants. I would like to know the difference between the american board of plastic surgery and the american board of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. I am only having facial surgery should it matter that the doctor isnt certified by the american board of plastic surgery?? ALso most of these doctors aren't members of the american society of plastic surgeons is this because they only perform facial surgery?
Both specialties are accredited by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Otolaryngologists receive an extensive amount of surgical training in the head and neck including the face. Many training programs offer broad exposure to cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty as well as facial rejuvination in addition to reconstructive surgery. There are many plastic surgeons who receive extensive training in the face as well. You can find highly qualified surgoens in either specialty. The most important point is to find a surgeon who does a relatively high volume of the type of procedure you are looking for and is very comfortable with the procedure.
