Deviated Septum, Should One Get it Fixed?

Dear anon,


If the nose was broken several times, a septoplasty would help, and there may be additional areas that need to be addressed

We frequently address the airway when performing nose surgery so your problem is very common

The cost can be covered by insurance, and if you do not have insurance, it is usually dependent on how much time it will take

When you are ready, see a septoplasty specialist that can answer all of your questions and concerns


Best regards,

Septoplasty can certainly help improve your breathing.  The recovery is typically 5-6 days and it should be covered by your insurance.  If you desire any cosmetic improvement of the nose at the same time the procedure is called rhinoplasty and insurance does not cover that.
