Terri's Rhinoplasty & Septoplasty

The Plastic Surgery Consultation

My plastic surgeon, Dr. Altobelli discovered that I had fractured the bone in my nose when I was younger. When the fracture healed, it did not heal straight.

My nose gradually started to lean toward the left side of my face. My cartilage also started leaning to the left side of my face. In addition, I was suffering from enlarged turbinates, a deviated septum, and a crooked nasal bone.

Rhinoplasty and septoplasty were recommended. I was able to have insurance cover the entire operation, including the anesthesia.

My family physician sent me for x-rays of my sinuses, and a CAT scan of my sinuses. Both of these pictures demonstrated that I needed the surgeries to improve my health.

Without the pictures, insurance probably would not have covered the operation.
