Will Insurance (In the US) Pay for my Rhinoplasty if It Affects Me Psychologically?

I read that the NHS (in England) sometimes pays for cosmetic surgery if a psychiatrist determines that their self-esteem is seriously lowered by their appearance. I know that private insurance is much different here in the US, but, still, I thought it would be worth asking: Have you ever heard of an insurance company covering a cosmetic procedure? The bump on my nose causes me great insecurity, and I cannot afford a rhinoplasty. I honestly feel depressed about this and think about it daily.
