I Need to Find a Surgeon Who Understands a Situation Im Trying to Solve. Long story short i have a unsually long nose and will be starting my boxing career very soon , the length of my nose is a huge disadvantage to me and i really need to find a solution to this no matter what , people have told me once rhinoplasty is done the nose becomes much weaker and will break much easily so rhinoplasty and fighting doesnt mix? so if thats not an option at reudcing the length of my nose then what options am i left with? any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.
Answer: Rhinoplasty and boxing
It is important not to have a rhinoplasty while pursuing boxing as a profession. In a professional boxing career one is likely to break the nose on multiple occasions and there is no sense of performing a rhinoplasty prior to boxing. The constant pounding from boxing will certainly reduce the overall projection of the nose anyway.

With the correction of a long nose, it is possible that it may not be necessary to perform any bone work. I would really need to see photos to provide you with the best advice.

Answer: Is it weaker? maybe
The only solution for making a long nose shorter is a reduction rhinoplasty. Depending on the surgical technique performed the nose may not be that much weaker. For instance if your nose is more cartilage than bone - we could reduce the nose without breaking the bones. In addition strengthening grafts of cartilage could be placed at the same time. You would have to accept the fact the most boxers noses are a mess after their career is over. So - here is what I would tell you if your were in my clinic
1) We can shorten your nose
2) You will likely need a revision surgery (maybe even nigger than the forst one) when your boxing career is done
but only #1 is a certainty

Answer: Rhinoplasty and boxing do they match? Dear boxer patient from Reseda, CA As a rhinoplasty specialist, I perform many male rhinoplasties as well as revision rhinoplasties. Since you’re planning to start a boxing career , I would wait for a while. You are correct; once you have rhinoplasty any subsequent injuries to nose may require a revision rhinoplasty. At that point it would be a more difficult surgery with prolonged recovery and swelling. If you sustain any injuries to your nose during your boxing career that requires fixation, then an aesthetic rhinoplasty can also be performed at the same time.

Answer: Boxing and rhinoplasty
While a long nose might be a disadvantage to you while boxing, I would recommend you not have corrective surgery until your boxing career is over. You are correct in that it is more difficult to fix a nose that has been operated on previously as the results are less predictable. I would recommend protective gear and wait until you are done boxing before contemplating nasal surgery.
