Crooked Nose: Covered by Insurance? (photo)

User Avatar

I have a crooked nose. I think I have a deviated septum because I find it hard to breathe,mostly at night. I also have a messed up sense of smell. I don't know if that has anything to do with the crookedness. But I find it hard to smell things. I told my doctor and she checked my nose but said she doesn't think it is serious enough for surgery. I hate how my nose looks though. It is crooked and the tip is boulbous, I also have a bump. Is it possible to have the insurance cover my surgery?
