How Do I Ask my Doctor About Getting a Rhinoplasty Added to my Septoplasty?

You should feel comfortable being completely open
with your surgeon, as he or she is working to make you the best version of
yourself. If you feel as though you may want to have a rhinoplasty added to
your septoplasty for cosmetic reasons, you should openly discuss this
possibility at your next in-person visit. Often the procedures are combined
into a single procedure called a “septorhinoplasty”. Your surgeon is on your
side at every step of your journey and wants to ensure that you are happy with
your results and with their services.  

The septoplasty and rhinoplasty are two different operations both performed on the nose.
Not all ear, nose, and throat doctors are well adept in performing rhinoplasty. Make sure you do your homework and look for a rhinoplasty surgeon who has done thousands of rhinoplasties to perform this difficult operation. The approximate cost for a rhinoplasty is about $6000, which the patient is responsible for. The medical component to the septoplasty is billed to the patient’s health insurance. The rhinoplasty is much more difficult than the septoplasty operation.
