Breast Reduction with Septorhinoplasty
I had a Breast Reduction and a Septoplasty with Rhinoplasty with Dr. Gregory DeVita, performed on separate dates. I will be reviewing my experience with both as well as the billing process since the above procedures were covered by my health insurance.
First impressions of Dr. DeVita was that he was qualified, experienced and I felt immediately that I was in good hands. Prior, I had consulted with a different surgeon about a breast reduction and was twice denied, I was thankful that his billing department had me approved within a week.
My breast reduction surgery was scheduled for July 14th, (fun fact, the doctors actual birthday) and went off without a hitch. I was in the operating room at 7:30 am and in my bed by 3 pm. Although dreading the aftermath of the painkillers wearing off, over the counter Tylenol for a few days was just enough for me.
I took 3 weeks off work, since my job is physical and after 6 weeks of recovering I was back at the gym. No complications, infections or unexpected issues. Eight months in, I’m super happy with my results and overall feel much better.
I decided to move forward with a Septoplasty with Dr. DeVita, (another fun fact, he is known as the Da Vince of noses) since I had the utmost trust that I would still look like myself and that ultimately I would be able to breathe through both nostrils.
My surgery was exactly 3 weeks ago. Although I’m still healing and it can take up to a year to see the full results, I was happy to see that even with the splint on, my nose looked like mine. No packing, no bruising (even though he did have to break my nose) and no complications other than the expected stuffiness. I took a full week off work and I have to lay off the gym for 6 weeks, I was out walking a couple of miles within a week.
I’m very happy with my results and I’m glad that I trusted Dr. DeVita to do exactly what he wanted to do. He’s a true artist, with a great eye and a perfectionist with a knack for details.
Billing however for the Septorhinoplasty was not as seamless as my Breast Reduction process was. The explanation of the cost involved was not very clear and for me that created some confusion with the process.
I was quoted $9500 and billing did not clarify that the fee was for the cosmetic part of the surgery and that I was responsible for the full amount(I found this out a few days before the actual surgery).I had assumed whatever the insurance payout was, would be deducted from the quoted $9500.
The insurance payout of $9830 was for the septoplasty portion of the surgery and also part of the overall cost. So the total combined cost between the insurance payout and out of pocket cost was $19,330.
(This was explained to me after I left this review which I decided to update based on this new information)
Having said all that, I am pleased with my results and think Dr. DeVita is an amazing doctor and professional. His workmanship, experience and attention to detail are well worth it.
If I had to do it over, I absolutely would.
