Hello everyone, thanks for having me. I
had a question about corrective surgery on
the nasal septum. In june i'am going in
for the surgery and was wondering what to
be expecting. My nose septum is not
straight and air doesn't come through
properly. The doctor says it's a very
short day surgery about 30mins-1hr long
depending on what the issue is. Has
anyone had this done?? Will he reshape
my nose or just reline the septum?
Thank you once again.
Take care.

If it's just your septum, then they will
only work on that or the inside of your
nose so it will not change your nose shape
at all. I have thought about getting it
done myself since I have a deviated septum
as well. Although for me, I may get the
rhinoplasty (which is when they change
your nose shape) as well at the same
time..

Do you know if changing the shape will be
covered?

Unless it's for a medical necessity.. It
won't be. However, if you get it done in
conjunction with the other procedure, it
may be cheaper if you really want it done
since the hospital stay and anesthesia and
such are already being covered by
insurance for the other procedure.
