Euless Rhinoplasty doctors

Hello VKtoriaG:

       This is a tricky question; in my experience, the septoplasty is often covered because of airway concerns; and some "straightening" would probably occur as result of addressing the previous trauma via "rhinoplasty"; a lot of this would depend on the individual insurance company: how they would view this.  Despite the trauma and the fact that these were accidents, they might still view the rhinoplasty as strictly cosmetic.  I would certainly pre-determine this with them if possible; also have your plastic surgeon go over with you as much as possible his operative plan; e.g. correcting deviation in the "crooked" nasal bones is part of the rhinoplasty, but if some more work is done e.g. on the nasal tip to provide symmetry or projection for example; could this be considered cosmetic? If the insurance company commits to part of the procedure; your surgeon could give you a separate fee for the "cosmetic" part and this might work for you.

                                                                Good luck

Your doctor will decide all pre-op testing. Such decisions are based on many factors, including your medical history, age, and length of surgery.

Rhinoplasty should be delayed until the nose has stopped growing. This usually occurs after puberty which is approximately 16 to 17 years  in women and 17 to 18 years in men.  I hope this helps.
