I am interested in having a rhinoplasty or nose job. What cosmetically bothers me is the hump or bump I have on my nose that makes it look crooked. I also have trouble breathing and an ent i saw years back said I have a deviated septum. Would insurance cover any of the bump correction if I have surgery to correct the deviated septum? And if not, how much will be left for me to pay if I choose to do the deviated septum and rhinoplasty at the same time? I'm assuming i wouldn't have to pay for anesthesia so how much would the total doctor fee only be approx? How much was your surgery?

Answer: Insurance and rhinoplasty... Insurance would cover the septoplasty if it is medically necessary. However, it will not pay for the bump removal or any part of the rhinoplasty. The cost will vary from surgeon to surgeon but usually ranges between $5000 and $10000. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Answer: Functional repair of your nasal airway may be performed during rhinoplasty, and your insurance may or may not cover... If you have a nasal bump and a crooked nasal appearance with a deviated nasal septum, having your functional and cosmetic concerns addressed at the same surgery may be best. Insurance coverage of your functional issues may be covered depending on your insurance policy, and your surgeon's participation with your insurance. Consider consulting with several rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what to expect after surgery. You can check local fees for service here on RealSelf. Thank you. Dr Joseph

Answer: Does insurance pay for rhinoplasty Good question. This is a common question we get in the office. IF insurance will pay it only pays for FUNCTIONAL issues. That is issues that affect the function of your nose like breathing. All aesthetic issues like humps and tips are not covered by insurance. As for costs it varies from surgeon to surgeon and depending on the degree of cosmetic change you desire. Best option is to go and see a surgeon in person and allow him to help you
