Depending on your insurance company, they will generally cover some or all of any functional portion of the surgery. Anything cosmetic is not covered. I would recommend speaking with your prospective surgeon, as he/she will be able to best advise you. I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
Most companies pay for functional problems. This is usually a deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, and occasional stenosis of the nasal valves. Cosmetic changes are typically not covered.
Revision rhinoplasty is not covered by insurance for strictly cosmetic reasons. If there is an airway issue that was not corrected this can often be covered.
It is best to check with your health insurance booklet issued to you when you signed up for the medical insurance. The exclusions of cosmetic surgery are listed in that booklet. Revision rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure, and is not covered due to lack of medical necessity. If there is a blockage of airflow in the back of the nose, a septoplasty may be a covered benefit. A septoplasty and a rhinoplasty are 2 completely separate operations. For more information, please see the link and video below
Most insurance companies will cover the functional portion of a rhinoplasty to improve your breathing, none of the cosmetic changes. Some do not even cover that. You need to be evaluated carefully. Does not matter if it is a revision or a primary rhinoplasty. I have attached a link that talks somewhat about revision rhinoplasty and links to some photos.

It's possible that some of these asymmetries and the supratip area can be fixed in-office with just fillers and may not require surgery at all. I tend to use Juvederm to start with since it's temporary. Then, if the patient and I like the results, it can be fixed essentially permanently with...
There isn't a specific term for that nose shape. But what is close is what we call the dorsal line or dorsal highlight of a nose. Ideally the highlights begin with the paired curved browlines, and continue uninterrupted with either slight mid nasal narrowing, or with roughly parallel...

Hello! Thank you for your question! The recommendations for the use of these homeopathic medications are surgeon preference. I typically suggest the use of Arnica Montana to decrease swelling and bruising. It is an herbal medication that is propagated from the seeds of an herb. I, as well as my...
I am sorry to hear that you having a difficult time. Tip grafts are a great tool that can be used to modify the shape, projection, and rotation of the nasal tip. However, tip grafts also strengthen the nasal framework and can exert pressure on the overlying skin. When the skin is thin, visible...
