Is breaking the nose during rhinoplasty anything to worry about?

July 23, 2014
Asked By:BrooklynB in Minneapolis, MN

I have to get my nose broken and that just seems like a lot of extra pain, and just imagining it makes me cringe and starts getting me anxious. Is it really common nowadays? Does it add extra pain on to the recovery? How exactly does a doctor break the nose?
