Modern people can make various efforts to take care of themselves, and many are interested in exercise, fitness, changes in hairstyle, changes in makeup, and more. Despite these efforts, some areas are still difficult to change, which can lead to a sense of complex, and interest in plastic surgery is also increasing as people look for ways to improve them.

Plastic surgery can be divided into various areas, but indiscriminate procedures can cause side effects, so it is important to make a more careful decision. Among the various procedures, the nose is the most three-dimensional part of the face and is located at the center, so even a change in the nose alone can have a major effect on improving one’s image, which is why many people may consider it a priority.

However, in the case of nose surgery, most people tend to focus first on external standards. The nose plays a major role in shaping appearance and image, but at the same time it is a functional organ responsible for breathing and the sense of smell. When considering nose surgery, it is important that surgery be performed with both external and internal aspects in mind. If there are problems on the internal side as well, you can look into functional rhinoplasty coverage in more detail.

As explained above, functional rhinoplasty can be described as surgery that improves both the internal functional aspects of the nose and the external areas that are less than ideal. The most representative symptom related to these functional issues is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a condition affecting more than 70% of adults in Korea and is divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, since it appears due to a specific substance or environment, it is difficult to say it can be completely cured, and it is important to consistently combine immune enhancement and medication treatment. On the other hand, structural rhinitis occurs due to changes in the internal structure of the nose. Causes of structural rhinitis include a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. If rhinitis occurs due to problems with these internal structures, it can be cured through surgery, and through the benefits of functional rhinoplasty coverage, you may also receive financial benefits, so it can be explored from various angles.

Cases in which benefits for functional rhinoplasty coverage are available include structural rhinitis caused by a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. These symptoms may sometimes be temporary, but many people mistake them for a cold. Since structural rhinitis is difficult to diagnose with the naked eye, it must be diagnosed through equipment. If these symptoms are mild, treatment may not be necessary, but if left untreated, they can develop into chronic rhinitis and cause complications such as headaches, migraines, chronic fatigue, loss of appetite, reduced concentration, and facial deformity. For this reason, it may be helpful to learn more about functional rhinoplasty and functional rhinoplasty coverage.

If you are looking into functional rhinoplasty coverage in this way, the surgery is performed for two or more causes, so it is considered a high-difficulty procedure. In addition, you should carefully check whether the medical team has a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have abundant experience and career history, whether equipment is available to accurately check the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare can be reliably guaranteed.

To explain cases where the above-mentioned functional rhinoplasty coverage benefits are available, there are cases in which the causes of structural rhinitis, such as a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis, appear in combination. In addition, cases involving a nasal bone fracture can also receive benefits.

Also, to explain the procedure for receiving functional rhinoplasty coverage benefits: after internal and external nasal examinations are performed using equipment, the surgical method and materials are determined. Then, through the disease code, eligibility and reimbursement rate are checked with the relevant insurance company, after which surgery and treatment are carried out. Once the hospital issues the documents needed to claim functional rhinoplasty coverage, you submit them to the insurance company and can receive reimbursement after review.
