When to Have Rhinoplasty with Septoplasty | Dr. Angela Sturm

https://drangelasturm.com/ -- If you have medically documented nasal breathing problems, and also want to change the shape or size of your nose, you might consider combining septoplasty and rhinoplasty in what is sometimes called a “septorhinoplasty.” You’ll have to find a facial plastic surgeon who is also trained as an ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgeon. Here’s a guide. FULL ARTICLE: https://drangelasturm.com/septoplasty... What is the difference between rhinoplasty and septoplasty? While both rhinoplasty and septoplasty refer to surgeries on the nose, rhinoplasty is usually an elective cosmetic surgery focused on improving the nose’s outer appearance, while septoplasty is a medically necessary surgery done to correct a nasal breathing problem. Rhinoplasty involves manipulating bone, cartilage, and nasal tissue to refine, reshape, and/or reduce the nose. It can be a life-changing procedure for those who are self-conscious about a nose they feel is too large, prominent, or misshapen. As a facial plastic surgeon, I can tell you that many people do not “like” their own nose. As the central feature of the face, the nose has a dramatic effect on overall facial proportion. I routinely do rhinoplasty on women and men of all ages, gender identities, and ethnic backgrounds. Septoplasty involves reorienting and/or straightening the nasal septum, which is the strip of cartilage that divides the nostrils. This is a surgery done inside the nose, and most people want to know if it will also cosmetically enhance the look of their nose. Unfortunately, the answer is no. While a septoplasty will fix a deviated septum or obstructive breathing problems, it usually will not change the outer appearance of the nose by much. Can I get rhinoplasty with septoplasty? Yes, and it is becoming increasingly common. A septorhinoplasty combines both internal surgical realignment of the septum and external cosmetic nose reshaping in one procedure. If you have a documented structural nasal problem like a deviated septum, cleft palate, chronic sinusitis, enlarged turbinates, or narrow internal nasal valves, you will likely need what we call “functional nasal surgery” to allow you to breathe more easily through your nose, this can include septoplasty, sinus surgery, partial reduction of inferior turbinates or repair of the internal nasal valves. Septoplasty is often covered by insurance if it is deemed medically necessary and more conservative treatments have failed. Though it is always recommended to get preauthorization from your insurance company. Rhinoplasty, by contrast, is usually not covered by insurance unless it is necessary to address a nasal injury, fracture, or genetic defect. Most rhinoplasties are done simply to make the nose look more attractive and proportionate, so insurance companies view it as an uncovered elective surgery. But if you’re considering both procedures, it really is best to have them done together, by one physician. Your surgeon can often use cartilage harvested during a septoplasty to reshape your nose during the rhinoplasty. If you get a septoplasty and then get a rhinoplasty, a surgeon may be limited in what they can do aesthetically because of what has already been done structurally. What is the average cost of septoplasty and rhinoplasty? The cost of septoplasty and rhinoplasty will vary based on whether the procedure is covered by insurance, what part of the country you live in, the extent of the surgical work to be done, and the expertise level of the practitioner. That said, recent national averages for septoplasty are anywhere from $6,000 – $8,000, though note that septoplasty is usually covered by insurance if it is medically necessary. Recent national averages for rhinoplasty are also in the $6,000 – $10,000 range. Unless it is a functional rhinoplasty, the patient will need to pay out-out-pocket.
