Help

Hi! So i have a question about medical rhinoplasty. So a few years ago i was diagnosed with asthma and i got an inhaler, but i still struggle to breathe do to the small opening of my nostrils. The inside nasal passages are regular size but i struggle to get air in due to the small openings. I was wondering if i could get a nose job covered under my insurance or if this is a nonmedical issue.

Procedure: Rhinoplasty
Location: Morgan Hill, CA

Of cause it is the medical issue and your insurance should cover the rhinoplasty to improve your breathing problems.

You should seek an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon familiar with your local insurance companies.
