The surgeon: would likely need to determine if the surgical procedure was for functional or for cosmetic reasons.

Partially: If you have a deviated septum or nasal valve obstruction then the functional part of the nasal surgery may be covered by insurance. The cosmetic portion of a rhinoplasty is not covered by insurance.

Rhinoplasty: Allergic rhinitis can contribute to nasal issues like obstruction and turbinate hypertrophy but your nose does not cause your allergy problems. Be sure to have your nose evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
