Is Septoplasty a Better Surgery to Repair Deviated Septum?
I was wondering if Septoplasty would be the best procedure for repairing a deviated septum? Or if a broken nose would require a combination of Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty to be repaired. Plus, approximately how much Septoplasty costs in the United States?

Septoplasty or Septorhinoplasty and cost?
A Septoplasty is the procedure of fixing the septum of the nose due to functional difficulties.

Depending on your Insurance and symptoms a Septoplasty may sometimes be covered by insurance. The costs vary from surgeon to surgeon and patient to patient depending on the extent of the procedure. I would say an average is between $3500.00 to $6500.00. I hope this is...

Septoplasty for broken nose
If your nose look OK and you just can't breathe well then a septoplasty is typically what you need. If your nose is crooked then you typically also need a rhinoplasty

Treatment of deviated septum
This is a great question.
Without an examination it is difficult to say. If your nasal bones are straight and only the septum is deviated, then in most cases only a septoplasty will suffice.
If the nasal bone is deviated as well, then the bone needs to be broken and repositioned with the septum.
This is a generalization and each patient is different.

Cost for a septoplasty only can range from $3500 to $6500. It is possible for insurance...

Septoplasty or Rhinoplasty
It depend on what you are repairing.
If the problem is ONLY deviated septum and Breathing problems, and nothing with the nose, then a septoplasty is enough.
If your problem involves the crocked nose and want to repair then septo-rhinoplasty.

Septoplasty vs. Rhinoplasty / Septoplasty
If the only defect to be corrected is the septum - the only operation required is a Septoplasty. But, if your nose requires a septum correction AND any corrective or cosmetic surgery of the nose, them you would require from BOTH a Septo-rhinoplasty. Prices for this procedure vary widely in different parts of the country.
