Is There a Medical Excuse for Getting Rhinoplasty?

 There is no medical excuse for a rhinoplasty. When patients have a broken nose and  it has been documented with an x-ray,  and it is fractured and displaced, that can be considered for medical necessity for insurance coverage. Any breathing problems related to turbinate hypertrophy, a deviated septum or valve collapse  are performed for medical necessity and billed to the patient's medical insurance. A cosmetic rhinoplasty must be paid for by the patient.  For patient safety and comfort a Rhinoplasty is not performed under local anesthesia, but general anesthesia by a board certified physician anesthesiologist.  A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish your goals by making all the incisions on the inside of the nose.
