I recently just finished my boxing career and wanted to get my nose fixed . My nose got messed up in a match and has looked like this ever since. About a year ago I had a septoplasty but it didnt change the nostril asymmetry .
I'm a boxer that has nasal valve collapse and really restricts my breathing, I want to get this resolved but still be able to continue boxing, I know it's not recommended to get an extensive rhinoplasty while still boxing so I'm looking for other solutions. I've recently come across a procedure called Intranasal z-plasty. From what I've read, the risks and recovery are minimal and could potentially solve my breathing problem. Would this be a procedure I could get so I can still continue to box?
So basically my nostrils are weak and small and it's hard to get a sufficient breath in at times and really want to sort it out but was advised by a rhinoplasty surgeontoday that if I wanted to get it fixed I would have to quit boxing which I love and want to continue. It would be great help if I could get other perspectives and possible solutions on this problem.
I'm not sure if it's cartilage, but a few years ago I was boxing and I think that's what caused the tip in the left of this nose pictured to stick out more than the other side. If i press both sides I can feel the left side of this picture go back, almost like it is popping back into place. Do I have to have surgery to fix this? What would I have done, just cut that off to make it more symmetrical? Bonus question: Do you think I would look better if I made the part just above the tip wider?
While boxing i was accidentally headbutted and it fractured my noae but i wasnt aware of it. It swelled up and in about 2 weeks when down so i sparred again and was punched in the nose one good time and then my nose became displaced and bigger. About 3 weeks after that i had a closed reduction and septoplasty done which made my nose straighter but im about 2 days shy of a month post-op and its still significantly huge. Is this permanent?
I see other people asking about nose jobs and fighting. I see the answers are that they don't mix and its not recommended. But they usually ask about jobs that require work on the nose cartilage. I don't know much about nose jobs but what if I just want my nostrils to not flare so much when I smile? And maybe some skin reduction since my nose skin is thick. Will getting hit in the nose repeatedly ruin it? Can I mess up my nose for good
I got hit and started bleeding I went to the er immediately and they tried aligning it but maybe they weren't trying hard enough because it wouldn't budge I have no problems breathing and I don't bleed it crooked of course but I was wondering what it would cost without insurance
Hi I broke my nose several times playing rugby in my younger days. I had a rhinoplasty to correct the problem after stopping playing. The procedure was carried out 7 years ago. I now box but was under the impression that my nose would have been significantly weakened due to the rhinoplasty - is this the case? I am very keen to box competitively but do not want my nose to explode as soon as I get punched on it.. clearly boxing is not a great idea for me but I really enjoy it ...many thanks
