I Suffer from Chronic Sinusitis As Well As a Crooked Nose with a Dorsal Hump and a Weak Chin? (photo)

 Chronic sinusitis must be first diagnosed with a CAT scan of the paranasal sinuses. If polyps are present, then endoscopic sinus surgery is performed through to aerate the sinus cavities. Breathing obstruction can come from a variety of sources such as a deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, and valve collapse. These are  addressed first with nasal sprays, antihistamines, and decongestants. If medical management has failed, consideration for surgical management to improve air flow dynamics through the nose. All the above procedures are considered medical necessity  and are billed to the patient's medical insurance. A cosmetic rhinoplasty in conjunction with a chin implant are considered cosmetic and must be paid for by the patient themselves. Please see the link below for information on functional and cosmetic nasal surgery. Virtual plastic surgery software is available on our website to get an idea what your new nose and chin might look like

Insurance policies will usually cover the costs of improving nasal function such as straightening a deviated septum or improving aeration of your sinuses. The patient typically has to pay for the cosmetic changes. My staff always helps perspective patients determine their financial responsibity.
