How much would it cost to fix my deviated septum it affects my breathing? (photos)

 A rhinoplasty is performed for cosmetic surgery to straighten the external appearance of the nose. Expect to pay for that portion of the surgery your self.   A deviated septum is composed of bone and cartilage in the back of the nose that is blocking air flow. A deviated septum can only be diagnosed by looking inside the nose. Medical necessity must be documented first to submit the septoplasty to your insurance. A septoplasty will not change the shape of the nose. A rhinoplasty procedure involves placing osteotomies in the nasal bones to straighten them. Sometimes, a cartilaginous spreader graft is placed underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage in the mid portion of the nose to help straighten it. A tip rhinoplasty is sometimes required  when the tip is asymmetrical and crooked. Please see the video below explaining the difference between rhinoplasty and a septoplasty

Some aspects may be covered by insurance. This usually includes correction of a deviated septum if it impacts breathing.
