Broken Nose 15 Years Ago - Can This Leave Long Lasting Effects?

Raybella12
At age 2 i severely broke my nose.Ever since then i've had problems with my nose.For the past 15 years,i had irregular random headaches,bad sinus problems(I snot constantly),from ages 10-15 i would get nose bleeds constantly.My nose is fairly big, with excess tissue in the front and a little hump.I don't like the way it looks,and believe because i broke my nose at that time it grew irregularly.is this possible?would medicaid cover a septoplasty?will this surgery fix the excess tissue/hump?
