I was born with a cliff lip, had a few corrective surgeries as an infant. I am now 34 yrs old. Will insurance cover Rhinoplasty?

Thank you for your question. Most of my cleft lip patients will undergo a rhinoplasty during their teen years. This typically is the last operation they will require. It has been my experience that most insurance plans will cover this. Please make sure your plastic surgeon is board certified and has an expertise in rhinoplasty. Your surgeon's office staff should be able to help you obtain insurance authorization. Best wishes.  

It is difficult to get approval for rhinoplasty surgery these days, but cleft lip and palate surgery should have some coverage. Best to check with your insurance company.
