Could I qualify for a free nose job? (Photo)

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can
accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your
lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement.
You may also benefit from a conservative dorsal hump reduction.  You insurance may cover a portion of the procedure if you have a deviated septum.  Many surgeons offer financing such as CareCredit. The most important aspect is
to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. With good surgical technique, you
could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a
qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Unfortunately, rhinoplasty is generally considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance plans. Nasal surgery that might be covered such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction, or sinus surgery generally does not change the shape or appearance of the nose either. There might, however, be an overlap with the appearance and function of the nose in some patients, but again it's unlikely to be free. Nasal surgery that improves breathing or sinus symptoms without altering the external nose still isn't "free" either.If you haven't already, then speak with a rhinoplasty surgeon to review appropriate options for you.Best,Dr. Chaboki
