Hi all,
I am considering getting a revision rhinoplasty from Dr Christopher Razavi in NYC, does anyone have any references on him for a revision rhinoplasty?
His instagram doesn’t have as much rhinoplasty cases as much: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZAbQtpkfvl/?utm\_source=ig\_web\_copy\_link
Hi,
Looking for advice to find an app that can help me track and prioritize tasks and complex projects (personal and work-related)
I am not interested in apps that have a recurring subscription-only interested in either free options or those that I can get a one-time lifetime purchase
Even better if I can connect ChatGPT or Claude into it to manage the tasks and organize it
Hi,
I have a collapsed bridge with + 2–3 prior nose surgeries. CT shows bilateral nasal valve stenosis, septal deviation, turbinate hypertrophy, post-traumatic deformity. Main complaint is breathing/functional. Will likely need rib cartilage grafting.
My insurance is UHC PPO, out-of-pocket max already met, so I want to operate before Dec 31.
The problem: the best revision surgeons I’ve consulted in NYC charge a $17.5K private fee and won’t bill the reconstruction to insurance — only the functional codes, facility, and anesthesia.
Looking for NYC surgeons who do high-volume tertiary revisions and bill the whole case through insurance. Prefer names from people who actually had the surgery and can speak to how it held up a year out.
Collapsed nasal bridge after childhood trauma + 2-3 prior surgeries. CT shows bilateral nasal valve stenosis, septal deviation, turbinate hypertrophy, post-traumatic deformity. Main complaint is breathing.
Surgeon appears in-network with my UHC PPO. He’ll bill the functional codes (30520, 30140, 30465) plus facility and anesthesia to insurance — but quotes a separate $17.5K out-of-pocket surgeon’s fee for the revision itself. I’ve already met my in- and out-of-network OOP max this year.
**1.** Can I request a pre-determination on the reconstructive codes (30435/30450) rather than accept the surgeon’s classification of that work as cosmetic?
**2.** If he’s in-network, can he charge a private fee on top for work insurance would cover as medically necessary?
**3.** Has anyone gotten the structural/reconstructive portion of a revision rhinoplasty covered?
Not looking to miscode anything — my case is genuinely functional. I want to know who decides the functional/cosmetic split and whether I can get it in writing from the insurer first.
