I apologize if this sounds ridiculous, but I am personally at an all time low here. I have a deviated septum, and I've been recommended to get septoplasty, but I've heard some girls say they got rhinoplasty done at the same time. Are there additional costs to getting the partial cosmetic surgery or is it covered in with the septoplasty? Thank you, and sorry for my lack of knowledge on this subject.

Answer: Free Rhinplasty My approach to an isolated septoplasty is different than when performing rhinoplasty. Additional work needs to be discussed, consented, and on the operative record. The aesthetic portion is not covered by insurance. All the Best.

Answer: Cosmetic rhinoplasty during septoplasty It is not uncommon for patients to undergo a cosmetic rhinoplasty while having a septoplasty to correct a deviated septum for breathing issues. However, the cosmetic rhinoplasty portion of the procedure is usually a separate charge which is not covered by insurance.We will often submit the septoplasty portion of the procedure to insurance and have a separate flat fee charge which covers the additional surgeon, anesthesia, and facility fees for the cosmetic portion of the case. When done concurrently with a septoplasty, the out-of-pocket rhinoplasty cost can often be less than paying for a full cosmetic rhinoplasty alone. While this is our typical approach to handling concurrent septoplasty and rhinoplasty, not all surgeons may handle this the same way.I would also encourage you to get more information about the qualifications and experience of your surgeon. Although most otolaryngologists (ENTs) will perform a septoplasty, not all of them perform rhinoplasty. If you have any concerns about the appearance of your nose, you should seek out a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon with rhinoplasty expertise for a consultation and to discuss your options. Good luck!
