I Broke my Nose 8 Years Ago and Want to Have It Fixed. What Type of Surgery Should I Get and What's the Cost? (photo)
Eight years ago, my sister broke my nose when we were playing lacrosse. Ever since, my nose has a huge hump and I absolutely hate it. I want it removed, and I want my nose redone. I want the hump taken away, and my nose narrowed a little nit and the tip reduced. I also would want my nose to have a "slope". What type of surgery should I get? How much would that cost?

Hump Reduction with Rhinoplasty
The hump can certainly be reduced and the slope you are wanting can be created. The nose will be narrowed with osteotomies to close the open roof. The tip can be refined as well. All of this can be done without any noticeable scars. Find the board certified plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year.

Broken nose with hump
Usually when the nose is broken and a hump is now present, the hump is reduced and the bones are realigned.
At that time, it's best to fix any breathing issues in the septum, turbinate region, deep septum, and nasal valves.
It's also best to address any additional aspects of the nose that the patient wants to have corrected at this time as well.

Nose with a hump
You would need an open rhinoplasty to decrease the size of the hump, refine your tip and probably decrease projection some. The cost varies a lot from area to area but could be as low as $7000 and as high as 15000.

The rhinoplasty procedure will address removal of the hump, narrowing the bones(osteotomies) and refinement of the tip with a combination of either cartilage removal, or suturing the tip cartilages together. Also important to address any potential deviated septum which is common after a nasal fracture. Look for a Facial Plastic Surgeon with lots of experience in rhinoplasty/septoplasty.
