Q. Crooked Nose Surgery: Asymmetrical Nose Complex, Is Nose Surgery Insurance Covered? image 1

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the chief director of Kwon Plastic Surgery, dedicated to restoring the natural harmony of the facial features.

Today, as a case involving someone considering crooked nose surgery, they asked whether insurance would apply if they underwent surgery because of their nose complex.

Q. Crooked Nose Surgery: Asymmetrical Nose Complex, Is Nose Surgery Insurance Covered?

Hello. I am a man in my 30s.

When I was young, my older brother hit my nose with a thick ruler, and at that time one side of the bone bulged slightly, making the bridge of my nose look asymmetrical from left to right.

Because of that, the shape of my nose looks different from the front and from the side.

I have always had a complex about my nose, and my confidence has gone down.

In winter, because the skin pulls tight, joking a bit, it feels like it might burst through.

Would it be better to have crooked nose surgery?

  1. If I have crooked nose surgery, I am curious whether nose surgery insurance would apply and how much it would cost.

  2. If I have nose surgery, will I later have aftereffects, or will there be any inconveniences in daily life compared to before surgery?

  3. My nose has always been on the large side and is really high, but it has a hooked nose. Could you briefly explain the procedure?

  4. I usually wear glasses. After nose surgery, would wearing glasses be a burden? Or would it be better to get vision correction surgery?

  1. If I have crooked nose surgery, I am curious whether nose surgery insurance would apply and how much it would cost.

-> Insurance coverage does not apply.

Because it is for cosmetic purposes, insurance is not covered.

Please understand that we cannot disclose the cost online.

  1. If I have nose surgery, will I later have aftereffects, or will there be any inconveniences in daily life compared to before surgery?

-> There do not appear to be any in particular.

  1. My nose has always been on the large side and is really high, but it has a hooked nose. Could you briefly explain the procedure?

-> We would need to examine the nose directly to know accurately, but in general, it is a surgery that removes the hump through an incision inside the nose.

If the nose is crooked, the deviated area is corrected.

  1. I usually wear glasses. After nose surgery, would wearing glasses be a burden? Or would it be better to get vision correction surgery?

-> For 1 to 2 months after surgery, you will not be able to wear glasses.

During that time, you can use contact lenses.

I hope you have a good result.

I hope this consultation response was helpful.

Thank you.

This man has a hooked nose, but his nose is small and on the low side.

Through hooked nose surgery, raising the nasal tip improved the overall gloomy and drooping impression, resulting in a smoother nasal line.

This is a case of a woman whose nose is bent to one side.

The size of the nostrils was also noticeably different, and through osteotomy surgery, the crooked hooked nose was improved.

You can see that the curved nose has been straightened, and the width of the nostrils has also changed.

This is a case of short nose surgery.

The short nasal tip was lengthened with septal extension surgery.

Also, since the nasal tip seemed to droop downward, surgery to remove the depressor of the nasal tip was performed at the same time.

Make a consultation reservation at Kwon!
