18 yr old female had a Septoplasty in 5/09. She sustained a subsequent injury to her nose and has received recommendation for Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty. Suggestions on surgeons in the Austin, TX area?
If both Septo and Rhinoplasty are to improve functional aspects, will full cost be covered by insurance?

Surgeon in Austin for SeptoRhinoplasty
The ASPS website can provide a list of qualified board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Dr. Sergio Maggi and Dr. Umeshchandra Gadaria are two possibilities. Some (but not all insurance companies) will cover both septo and rhino for functional purposes. Your insurance plan will be able to provide you a list of surgeons in network. Consult with 2 - 3 qualified and experienced surgeons to find the one who best meets your needs.

Most insurance companies will not pay for nasal surgery...
