Does insurance cover a rhinoplasty?

Medical insurance will sometimes cover a portion of the cost of rhinoplasty surgery. If a significant deviation is present, particularly from an injury, or if there are breathing problems, insurance will occasionally cover the cost to repair the deviated septum. This septoplasty procedure can be combined with the cosmetic rhinoplasty portion of the procedure for a combined recovery and need for only one anesthetic at our out-patient surgery center. We are out of network with all insurance plans, but can help you with the initial submission of your claim for your rhinoplasty.

Can I bring photos to my rhinoplasty consultation?

Yes! We encourage you to have photos ready of noses you like and dislike for your initial consultation with Dr. Hessler. The clearer and more outspoken you are about your concerns and personal aesthetic goals, the better.

How long does rhinoplasty take?

A typical rhinoplasty takes 1 to 3 hours, but every case is different.

Is a rhinoplasty safe?

Yes, rhinoplasty is very safe when performed by a certified and experienced surgeon. It does require skill and artistry, so we recommend doing your research before scheduling a consultation with any surgeon. Make sure you like their photo galleries, and be sure to see what their previous patients have said about him or her.

Will a nose job affect nasal allergies?

Any change to allergies that occurs due to rhinoplasty will be minimal.

How is breathing improved with rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty can improve breathing by opening the airways when they are blocked by a deviated septum; pinched because of narrow internal valves, or constrained because of enlargement of internal structures.
