Can my nose that was broken eight years ago be fixed now? Can it be fixed if its causing breathing issues? Can my nose brake be the reason for all my headaches and teeth issues?
Answer: Rhinoplasty 8 Years after Fracture The results of rhinoplasty surgery will be just as good today as they would have been right after your trauma. If your breathing problems are secondary to anatomic problems such as a deviated septum this should be corrected during the rhinoplasty procedure. Headaches may be secondary to nasal and sinus congestion. Teeth issues are not related to your nasal problems; consult with your dentist.

Answer: Post Trauma Rhinoplasty Dear gaylebailey8114, Yes, your nose can be fixed years after the original fracture occurred. An in office examination will determine if you have a deviated septum or what the possible causes of your breathing issues may be. Headaches can be related to sinus issues however the problems with your teeth are more likely related to bite issues and your dentist should be able to refer you to a specialist for examination. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
