I need surgery for my deviated septum but I'm also wanting rhinoplasty. I am covered by Medicaid. I have read that it is best to do both surgery's at the same time, so they can use what they remove from the septo for the rhino Also that Medicaid will cover the septoplasty part of the surgery (anesthetics,operating room)So how much would that save me in my cost 4 nose job? *I want my nose to be straightened, narrowed at the bottom, hump removed, and to no longer have to be a mouth breather
Answer: Rhinoplasty and septoplasty Hi, thanks for the questions. Performing a rhinoplasty at the same time of the septoplasty is a common practice. There will be a cost savings to you but it will depend on the facility and a number of other factors. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. She or he will examine you and go over the details of what needs to be done to create the nose you are looking for. You should be able to get an idea of the costs and savings you can expect by combining the two procedures. Good luck!Sincerely,Dr. Michelle Spring

Answer: Rhinoplasty at the same time as septoplasty Hi trishyy1234,Thanks for your question. I perform many rhinoplasty procedures at the same time as a septoplasty. You are correct that doing the procedures at the same time is smart. Performing them together will often save $2000 to $3000. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!

Answer: Cosmetic rhinoplasty, and functional septoplasty Functional nasal surgery such as a septoplasty is performed in the back of the nose and will not change the shape of it. There will be three fees submitted to your medical insurance, operating room, anesthesia, and surgeon's fees. Co-pays and deductibles will still apply. A rhinoplasty procedure is performed to change the shape of the nose such as narrowing and straightening the bridge line, refining the nasal tip, and shaving down the dorsal hump. There will also be three fees associated with that procedure which included operating room, anesthesia, and surgeon's fees. The Rhinoplasty will take much longer than the septoplasty procedure, since it is much more difficult. Rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult procedures to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so it is important to choose your surgeon very wisely. Study their before and after rhinoplasty photo gallery to make sure it's extensive and reflective of their experience. It may also be difficult to find a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who takes Medicaid. For our rhinoplasty current price list, please see the link and the video below

Answer: How much will it save me on my cost for rhinoplasty, with Medicaid covering septoplasty? I do a fair number of combination functional/cosmetic rhinoplasty. For a couple of reasons you may find that the cost difference to you between these 2 options is negligible.

Answer: Price Doing the septum is a smaller part of the rhinoplasty, so it doesn't really save a lot. Many surgeons will not combine these because of the difficulty of getting paid when combining cosmetic and insurance procedures. Out of pocket will still likely be $6-8k for the rhinoplasty. Best of luck!
