What Is Septorhinoplasty?

Why Your Surgeon's Training Matters

Septorhinoplasty sits at the intersection of ENT surgery and facial plastic surgery. The surgeon you choose should be trained in both.

Cosmetic Surgeon

  • Trained in aesthetic techniques
  • Focuses on external appearance
  • May refer functional issues elsewhere
  • No ENT or airway training

ENT Surgeon

  • Expert in nasal airway function
  • Manages septum and turbinate disease
  • May have limited cosmetic training
  • Functional focus primarily
Recommended

Dual-Trained (Mr Whitehead)

  • Rhinology fellowship (Manchester)
  • Facial plastics fellowship (Istanbul)
  • Treats form and function equally
  • RCS Board Certified in cosmetic surgery

Insurance & NHS

The functional component of septorhinoplasty (septoplasty) may be covered by private medical insurance. Mr Whitehead is recognised by major UK insurers and provides detailed clinical documentation for pre-authorisation.

1

Consultation

Mr Whitehead assesses your breathing and documents clinical findings including septal deviation, turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal obstruction scores.

2

Pre-authorisation

A detailed clinical letter is sent to your insurer outlining the medical necessity of septal surgery. This is based on clinical findings, not cosmetic concerns.

3

Approval

If approved, your insurer covers the functional (septoplasty) component. Any cosmetic element may require a top-up fee, which is discussed transparently before you commit.

Pricing

From £9,000

All-inclusive: surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital, and 12 months of aftercare. If insurance covers the functional component, your out-of-pocket cost may be lower. The consultation fee (£250) is credited to your surgery if you proceed.
