Answer: Rhinoplasty I wish it were that simple. Although these things can be done at the same time it presents some problems. Is the ENT surgeon experienced in noses. Can you get by with just a little shave? The surgeon probably will charge extra and the surgicenter or hospital may as well. So yes it can be fine but you need to figure out all these other issues.

Answer: Rhinoplasty It is fairly common that while a patient is having a septoplasty for breathing purposes, they also desire cosmetic changes to their nose. Discuss this with your doctor, but there are additional costs that will be incurred. Cosmetic rhinoplasty is usually not an insurance covered orocedure and must be paid for in cash.

Answer: Would a septoplasty and a rhinoplasty for bone shave have any additional costs? A septoplasty is performed in the back of the nose for medical necessity to improve airflow. That is it. A Septoplasty is billed to the patient's medical insurance once preauthorization has occurred. You will also be required to pay all co-pays and deductible associated with your insurance for the functional component. A rhinoplasty is considered cosmetic and must be paid for by the patient themselves. Once the dorsal hump has been removed, osteotomies are often required in addition to spreader graft placement. In many instances, the nasal tip cartilages are also adjusted to match the new dorsal profile once the hump has been removed. A full set of pictures are going to be required to make a determination about how best to proceed. Digital computer imaging would also be helpful.
