Should my Doctor Cover Rhinoplasty Revision Costs?

Tags: costs, doctor, revision

I had a rhinoplasty recently. though it has only been one month post-op, from talking with my doc and seeing the swelling it is clear he did not do a single thing i asked him to (remove a tiny hump) but instead created unnecessary asymmetries (right to left side of bridge) that were extremely obvious at after splint removal (and still are). If things don't even out in a year should my surgeon have to cover all revision fees since he did not do anything i asked in the first place?

Costs of Revsion Rhinoplasty

You may be correct, but wait 6-12 months before deciding if you're satisfied with the final result. You obvious did not  talk about this pre-operatively, but we cannot answer your question because each surgeon has their own philosophy regarding revision surgery.

Rhinoplasty Recovery At Least 6 Months

You are still very early in the healing process, so I would not get too upset yet.  It can take up to at least 6 months for everything to settle, the edema to go down, and the final result to be visualized.  Just be patient, and at 6 months, if you are still unhappy, then I would address it with your surgeon at that time.  I hope this helps.

Rhinoplasty revision costs.

First of all you need to wait to see what the nose will look like in 1 year since it will change greatly. At that time you can discus what needs to be done and the doctor's policy about revision since each surgeon is different.
