Insurance Coverage for Nose Hump Removal Due to Injury?

User Avatar
olympian04
I recently broke my nose playing basketball. I had to get it reset back in place by surgery. Since it has healed the bone has seemed to become larger creating a bigger hump on the bridge. I wish I could say it does not bug me but it does. I do not have the money to get a "nose job" and I am not really into plastic surgery (not knocking those who are) is there any way insurance covers this because it was an injury and is there anything I can do to fix it. Thanks.
