I broke my nose. Do I need a rhinoplasty? (Photos)

Nicholasrio213Jul 5, 2022
About 7 months ago I sustained an injury to my nose leaving it broken. At the time of the injury, it was swollen and I had two black eyes. When I went to an ENT about a week later, he told me it was a non-displaced fracture, and that "I didn't need to have anything done". But as time passed and the swelling went down I noticed that my nose looked crooked. The left side feels dented and the right side is protruding. Is rhinoplasty the only way to correct my nose now? Will insurance

Does raising the nasal tip aid or worsen the airway? I have found over the years that elevation of the nasal tip actually improves the nasal airway. Most people can test this on themselves by taking a breath through the nose in its normal resting position and taking another breath through the...

Patients who have low hemoglobin levels around the time of surgery are at risk for complications including a higher risk of infection, and a longer need for breathing assistance with a machine. The ideal hemoglobin level is a minimum of 11. Hope this helps.
