I've gotten a sinus infection and uri almost monthly for about a year now and was told by my PCP that my ins. will pay for a nose job. I like the way my nose looks but I'm very tired of being sick all the time. Will getting the nose job make it where i'm sick less?

Sinus Surgery and septoplasty

If you are happy with the sape of your nose you don't need to have rhinoplasty done. Septoplasty can improve your sinus infections. However, I have done many cases of both Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery and Septo-Rhinoplasty with great success. If you decide to do that, make sure you see an experienced surgeon in bothe fields.

Deviated septum

Correcting a deviated septum will improve your nasal airway but will not correct the sinus issues you are having. You need a formal evaluation of your sinuses and possible sinus surgery See an experienced ENT with facial plasic surgery training for your sinus, nasal airway, and cosmetic nasal concerns.
