Is It Possible to Get my Dorsal Hump Removed (Rhinoplasty) During my Septoplasty?

July 13, 2012
Asked By:nickjohn

I'm a guy and I've been uncomfortable with it for so long and hate this hump on my nose. How can I convince my doctor to get this done for free. I'm 17, no job and my parents can't afford it. My Septoplasty will happen when I'm 18, so since they're working in the same area, can't they just file it down? I just want the bump removed.

Answer: It's common to have a "hump" removed at the same time as a septoplasty, however this won't be covered by insurance
