Because Dr. Jeffrey Raval is board certified in both ear, nose and throat and as a facial plastic surgeon, he knows the nose inside-out. That means he has a full understanding of the aesthetic appeal of a nose from the outside as well as intimate knowledge about the functionality of the nose on the inside, even the sinuses.

The benefit: patients net his surgical expertise on all aspects of the nose and its appearance and function.

When a person has a crooked nose, Dr. Raval explains, they don’t breathe as well and they can possibly suffer from sinus problems. Dr. Raval can address all of those issues in one surgical procedure. Another plus: because patients have a functional problem with their nose that Dr. Raval corrects surgically while simultaneously addressing the aesthetic problem they have, their insurance will often cover the functionality portion of the surgery which reduces their cost of the overall surgery. That’s a plus because rhinoplasty for aesthetic purposes only is considered cosmetic and is therefore not usually covered by insurance.
