Broke my Nose in Basketball Many Times when I Was Younger. Can I Get It Fixed and Still Play? (photo)

theloadedwhale
So I am going into my first year of college and will be playing on the basketball team their, and I plan on playing college basketball for another 5 years and then maybe in Europe after. However, I would like to get my nose fixed after my first season ends, because my broken nose is not only very ugly, but not being able to breathe through the one nostril causes me to have bad gums, teeth, etc. because I can't sleep with my mouth closed. Can I get it fixed and still play basketball?
