Will insurance pay for revision rhinoplasty if the primary rhinoplasty caused breathing problems?

May 9, 2014
Asked By:Jadamski78 in Claremont, NH

I had septorhinoplasty to fix a breathing issue. I can't breathe through both nostrils now and before I could breathe great out of one side. I really believe the dr pinched the bones against the septum. There is also a cartilage graft sticking way up and the crookedness has not changed one bit. Is there a dr in New England that can help me and is there any way insurance would help?
