Septorhinoplaaty and insurance - what is the likelihood of it being straightened as part of the procedure? (Photo)

It is possible that insurance will cover the septoplasty if you are having difficult breathing. Otherwise, you would benefit from a rhinoplasty/septoplasty and the cost is $7,000.

Best Wishes,

If you have a deviated nasal septum which is symptomatic, then a septoplasty can be performed for medical necessity and billed to the patient's medical insurance. Co-pays and deductibles will apply. Straightening the outside of the nose requires a cosmetic rhinoplasty, which must be paid for by the patient. Both procedures can be done simultaneously under one anesthesia with one recovery.
