Thrilled with New Nose!

WORTH IT
I have been contemplating a septorhinoplasty for a couple of years now. I had a deviated septum, a dorsal hump, and a droopy nasal tip. Over that time, I met with 3 different plastic surgeons. My goal was to improve my breathing and remove the hump. One surgeon provided me with very little reassurance and didn’t take the time to answer my questions. The second surgeon wanted to completely change my nose and alter the overall look of it. The final surgeon I met with was Dr. Andrew Bartlett. Not only did he allot a significant amount of time to answer my many questions, but, what was most convincing for me, was his realistic and natural approach. Instead of wanting to completely change my nose to a superficial-looking, petite, ski-jump button nose unsuitable for my face, he agreed with keeping my nose as natural as possible. Meaning, we agreed to remove the hump, meanwhile he also suggested lifting the tip slightly. I met with him a few times prior to my surgery as I was nervous. Finally, I went through with it and I couldn’t be happier with my nose. Not only can I breathe better, but I feel more confident. The hump was an insecurity of mine and now that it is gone, I can stand a bit taller. Dr. Bartlett was reassuring, tentative, and understanding throughout the entire process. He listened to my concerns and desires. I am happy I went through with the septorhinoplasty. More importantly, I am grateful for Dr. Bartlett – he improved my breathing and boosted my self-esteem. I highly recommend Dr. Bartlett. He has changed my life! As a bonus, his receptionist, Noreen, was extremely calming and kind.
Was the procedure covered my medical due to it being a deviated septum? If not how much did the aesthetic portion cost?
