Nose tip correction is considered a medical procedure if it is necessary to correct health or functional problems, e.g.:
\n– breathing problems due to a malformation or injury to the nose.
\n– malpositioning of the tip of the nose after an accident or trauma.
\n– birth defects or genetic abnormalities that affect the function of the nose.
\n– restoration of the nasal structure after surgery (e.g. tumor removal). In such cases, the procedure is often covered by health insurance as it helps to improve health and quality of life. 2. cosmetic procedure: A nose tip correction is a cosmetic procedure if it is performed for purely aesthetic reasons, e.g.:
\n– changing the shape, size or alignment of the tip of the nose to improve facial harmony.
\n– desire for a narrower, more pointed or less conspicuous tip of the nose.
\n– adjusting the tip of the nose to meet personal beauty ideals. In these cases, the procedure is usually paid for privately as it has no medical benefit. Differentiation: In order to differentiate between a medical and cosmetic procedure, a consultation with a specialist is usually carried out. During this consultation:
\n1. The reason for the procedure is discussed.
\n2. An examination is carried out to determine possible functional impairments.
\n3. It is checked whether health complaints can be alleviated with the procedure. If there is no medical necessity, the procedure is classified as cosmetic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
