Is rhinophyma/bulbous tip covered by insurance? (Photo)

Asked By:cgd1993 in Staten Island, NY

I have rhynophyma and a bulbous tip. Would insurance cover this since it is related to a medical condition? I do have some make up on to camouflage it a bit but you can still clearly see it. thank you for any help. Is C02 laser the best treatment? I saw one doctor who recommended a rhinoplasty? Would that help?
