I'm getting a rhinoplasty but what happens if I break my nose after the recovery process because I'm a fighter and I do that as partime ATM but I'm going full hopefully halfway next year. If I break my nose during my fights will the rhinoplasty be worthless and my nose looks become poor? Will it get bigger? Should I stop MMA I'm getting rhinoplasty because my nose isnt straight and have trouble breathing through it and it's also big as af

Answer: Rhinoplasty and trauma Great question. I think if a rhinoplasty is an important issue for you you should proceed with getting it knowing as well that any trauma to the nose can result in injury. There is always the possibility of breaking your nose via MMA or accidental injury even during daily life. Fortunately, whatever damage occurs can be repaired. In the end you will have to decide what is more important to you--the best looking nose or the desire to participate in MMA.I hope this helps.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta

Answer: Martial Arts and Nose Surgery Perhaps you should wait until your fighting career is completed before your consider nasal surgery. Since you are at high risk of re-injury or nasal fracture while you are still involved with the martial arts, the risk of complications due to re-injury and the need for multiple nasal surgeries is strong. I would wait.
