Can a rhinoplasty be performed at the same time as a septoplasty?
Yes, many times a cosmetic rhinoplasty can be performed at the same time as a septoplasty surgery for functionality and improvement of breathing. Cosmetic nasal surgery is always paid for by the patient and is not submitted to insurance. Any medically-related breathing disorders such as a deviated nasal septum and swelling of the inferior turbinates are billed to the patients medical insurance when medically necessary.
