You should not have an open roof deformity unless you had rhinoplasty and the rasping leaves you with one--which is corrected with osteotomies-breaking of the bones. Insurance covers if you have airway obstruction due to deviated septum, hypertrophic turbinates or internal nasal valve collapse.
Insurance usually does not cover revision rhinoplasty. From a frontal view alone it is difficult to determine if it is an open roof deformity or just wide nasal bones. 3/4 view and lateral views would be very helpful. The first step would be to visit a rhinoplasty surgeon in person for a thorough evaluation. RegardsDr. J
It is not possible to comment on wether or not you have an open roof deformity based on your photo. Additional photos would be helpful and an in person evaluation would be needed. With the regards to insurance coverage for rhinoplasty, occasionally an insurance provider will cover the surgery. Typically this is only in the case of deformity due to trauma or a deformity that is causing a functional deficit in nose breathing that cannot be improved with the use of medications. Other restrictions may be written into various contracts. All insurance plans have their own rules and regulations which may or may not allow for coverage of rhinoplasty. Best regards
Thank you for your question. An open roof deformity occurs after rhinoplasty for a dorsal hump when the nasal bones are not adequately returned to the midline. It does not create a functional problem with the nose, but certainly does result in a cosmetic problem. Insurance is not likely to cover surgery to correct this issue.
Insurance might cover airway obstruction issues, but does not cover cosmetics procedures for a flattish nose.
Dear Jackie There still is significant swelling at 35 days after rhinoplasty. Inflammation acts differently at every zone of your nose and that is why normally we could see some asymmetrical zones, and also swelling is an issue in rhinoplasty, because till 1 year the nose still shrinks....
You have beautiful eyes, and a rhinoplasty can compliment that nicely. The photos that you showed gives limited information, but I think reducing the size of your nose overall would make a nice improvement.
At this point in your recovery, swelling that fluctuates is completely normal. It can occur with a variety of factors including:1) Diet: high sodium intake can increase swelling2) Temperature: warmer temperatures encourage swelling3) Time of day: The morning will likely be the time when the...
