I was boxing and I might have broken my nose. I have no insurance and was wondering how much it would cost to repair? (Photo)

The techniques used during a rhinoplasty will correct the deformity of your nose. The shape of your nose can also be improved at the same time. It looks like you have a bump on the dorsum of your nose which can be reduced. The nose can then be narrowed and straightened and the tip refined. If you have a problem with your nasal airway this can be corrected as well. The costs are likely to be about $6000-$7000.

First, if you're planning to continue boxing I would not pursue surgery at this point. Wait until you're at a point in your life where your nose is unlikely to be reinjured after surgery. If you're there now, surgery is a great option to straighten your nose and remedy your nasal injury. In terms of cost, those numbers are all of the map. A typical charge for rhinoplasty with a highly experienced surgeon will fall somewhere between $6000-10,000. If you're able to find health insurance in the near future, most if not all of your procedure would be a covered benefit. It might be worth purchasing insurance through a health care exchange just to get this procedure taken care of as you will likely spend less on health insurance premiums than you would out of pocket on a rhinoplasty. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

It sounds like your nose has healed and would have to be re-broken and set in a correct position.   The price would be similar to a rhinoplasty.  The cost of rhinoplasty comprises of the surgeon's fee, the facility fee and the anesthesiologists fee. Realself has a nice tab breaking prices by location. Best of luck. Dr. Michael Omidi An in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.

Your cost can range from $5000 to $8000 depending on what needs to be done.  I agree, do nothing until you have stopped boxing. If  you decide to continue boxing and you have a deviated septum that impairs nasal breathing,  then I would consider an isolated  septoplasty.  Thomas "The Hitman"  Hearns claims that a severely deviated septum affected his breathing and performance in later rounds.  He eventually had it repaired.All the Best,Dr. Brian Reagan

 The cost of a rhinoplasty to fix a broken nose is determined by time in the operating room, time under anesthesia, and the surgeon's fee for resetting the broken nose straight. To straighten a traumatic and  crooked nose requires osteotomies placed in the nasal bones to reset it, and most likely a spreader graft placed in the mid-portion of the nose underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage. Look for a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for best results, since this is not an easy repair
