Learn About Nose Surgery Insurance Accurately

Hello. We are Ojiko Hospital & N+ Clinic, which focuses on the freedom to breathe and a beautiful nose shape.

The content introduced this time is about nose surgery insurance.

Nowadays, many people are interested in diet, skin care, hairstyles, and other ways to improve their appearance, and through information from various videos, they want to cultivate a more attractive look than they currently have. However, when it comes to the shape of the nose, it is difficult to make changes despite these various efforts, so many people ultimately want improvement through plastic surgery.

The nose is located at the center of our face and plays a role in balancing the overall facial features. Even a small change can have a big effect on improving the image, but if you feel that your current nose shape is not straight and does not meet standard criteria, it can also make the entire face seem more noticeable.

In this way, when considering nose surgery, it can be said that the approach is primarily based on aesthetic standards. However, the nose is not only responsible for facial aesthetics but is also an important organ functionally, as it handles smell and breathing. If surgery is performed while focusing only on aesthetics and without checking the internal structure, additional problems in internal function may arise and lead to revision surgery. Therefore, it can be helpful to make sure the inside of the nose is also examined before proceeding. If a functional procedure is added, you may also look into it in detail, including nose surgery insurance.

When looking at cases where functional improvement through nose surgery is possible, the most representative symptom is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a condition that more than 70% of adults in Korea have, and it is divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis accounts for 20%, while structural rhinitis accounts for 80%. Structural rhinitis includes deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. Allergic rhinitis cannot be completely cured, but temporary symptom improvement is possible through medication and improved immunity. In the case of structural rhinitis, a cure can be expected through surgical methods.

When nasal congestion occurs, people often mistake it for allergic rhinitis or a cold and leave the symptom untreated. If left untreated like this, it can develop into chronic rhinitis, causing headaches, migraines, reduced concentration, chronic fatigue, and other problems that can greatly interfere with daily life. Even if the symptoms are the same, the surgical method and materials differ depending on the cause, so it is important to accurately check the condition of your own nose. If you need functional nose surgery like this, your post-surgery satisfaction may be higher if you look into nose surgery insurance before choosing.

As such, rhinitis commonly causes nasal congestion, but symptoms alone cannot determine by sight whether it is allergic rhinitis or structural rhinitis. Therefore, because a diagnosis can be made after checking the inside of the nose with equipment, if you proceed with surgery only for cosmetic nose surgery and not even if there are no symptoms, accurate confirmation of the internal condition of the nose before surgery can help prevent functional problems. Therefore, when looking into information about nose surgery, it can help prevent revision surgery to proceed together with nose surgery insurance at a place where functional aspects can also be checked.

At Ojiko Hospital & N+ Clinic, to ensure satisfying nose surgery, various allergy tests, internal nasal function tests, 3D-CT imaging, and internal endoscopic imaging are performed before surgery to accurately assess the condition of the nose. Based on the extracted data, two rounds of expert consultations are conducted, and surgery is performed using methods and materials suited to the individual. If necessary, you can also receive guidance on nose surgery insurance.

In general nose surgery, the bridge is corrected with silicone and the tip is shaped with autologous cartilage to create a smooth and balanced nose shape. The autologous cartilage used includes ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage, and the materials are also selected based on preoperative testing to suit the individual.

In addition, the silicone used for the nasal bridge is not simply the existing commercial silicone product used as-is; rather, it is carefully selected and used after directly considering the individual’s overall image, as well as the width, length, and breadth of the nasal bridge.

If there is a functional problem, deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis are improved first before cosmetic nose surgery is performed. If these structural rhinitis conditions are present, it may be helpful to look further into nose surgery insurance before proceeding with surgery.

Types that can be improved through nose surgery insurance include deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, nasal valve stenosis, and nasal bone fracture. Since cosmetic nose surgery to improve the shape of the nose can be performed at the same time as these functional improvements, we recommend consulting about both whether you can receive nose surgery insurance benefits and whether cosmetic nose surgery will be performed.

The procedure for nose surgery insurance is as follows: after a detailed examination, you can confirm eligibility for payment and the reimbursement rate, then undergo surgery and treatment, submit the medical expense insurance claim documents and contact the insurer, submit the insurer’s required documents individually, and receive the insurance payout after the insurer’s individual review. If you need guidance about nose surgery insurance due to these functional issues, you can contact the hospital and receive a more detailed explanation of the insurance when discussing the current condition of your nose.

In addition, at Ojiko Hospital & N+ Clinic, CEO Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles every step, from consultation related to nose surgery, to surgery planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up care, providing safe and accurate consultations.

Lastly, an N+ membership card is issued, and the hospital operates an after-sales service system that guarantees support for one year after surgery. In preparation for any possible postoperative pain, inflammation, shape dissatisfaction, and all other situations, a surgical responsibility guarantee system is in place, so you can receive reliable aftercare benefits even after surgery.

This has been an explanation of nose surgery related to nose surgery insurance at Ojiko Hospital & N+ Clinic. I hope this article was helpful for those who are currently looking into nasal congestion caused by rhinitis or functional nose surgery. Thank you.
