Rhinoplasty Medical Card

    I am out of work due to severe mental health issues.

    When I was young I had awful trouble with my nose and it scraped.

    I still cannot breath properly through my nose and being 100% honest I hate the way it looks. It has quite a noticeable hump.

    I have severe issues with how perceive my body and I cant stand being in photos or looking at myself in the mirror.

    So yes it is mostly for cosmetic reasons (but only so i can have peace of mind).

    Is there anyway this can be covered under medical card?

    Thank you.

    If you can't breath through your nose a rhinoplasty may be required. I'm not sure if you need additional work for appearance but a rhinoplasty won't alter that afaik
