Breathing thru my nose is difficult and my dentist identified my gums are dry and inflamed from mouth breathing. My doctor referred me to an ENT specialist. My nose has a large dorsal hump and I've always wanted rhinoplasty to fix this and my breathing but I want to it to look perfect. Should I ask the ENT about this? Is a portion of the surgery covered thru healthcare benefits and could I ask to pay for the cosmetic portion? Will the ENT be offended and is it better to go to a plastic surgeon?
