Protector asked:


I had my sinuses cleaned out and had the surgeon also perform some cosmetic surgery on my nose at the same time. I was told some of it would be billed to insurance but wasn’t coverable because of the cosmetic surgery done. Can the costs be deducted as medical expenses on income tax?
