Will my nose be broken during a rhinoplasty?

Jack P. Gunter, MD answers: Will my doctor break my nose during a rhinoplasty?

my greatest fear of a nose job is the doctor snapping my nose.  Thats not urban legend is it, that doctors break your nose during nose surgery?

Not necessarily.  Most rhinoplasties do require breaking the nose.  The ones that don't are ones in which the tip is the only unattractive part of the nose and it can be done alone.  Most rhinoplasties in which a hump is removed will require breaking of the bones.
