Hello, my names karina. Im 17 and about an year ago or two I broke my nose. Well its not fractured or shattered in to peices just slanted a little to my left. I got hit on my nose and now I have a little loop or something I cant really explain it. I would like to know if theres any way I can still get it fixed? And if so, how? Would it cost a lot of money and would it hurt. I also have like a little bump on my nose as well. someone please help. Thank you for your time. My nose is slanting right
Answer: Can I still fix my nose after I broke it? Your photo sows that your nose is a little crooked. You also said you have a bump but I can't see it on this front view.You can still fix the bump and straighten your nose by having a Rhinoplasty.

Answer: Fixing a broken nose If you break your nose, there are generally two windows of opportunity to fix it. A "closed reduction" can be performed in most cases within the first 2 weeks after the fracture. This involves moving the broken bones and cartilage back to their original position. If it has been longer than 2 weeks, the bones then start to heal and are not as easily moved around. In that case, I prefer to wait at least 3 months before trying to surgically move them. The appearance of a "slanted" nose can certainly be improved as can a bump. Often a portion of the cost of this surgery would be covered by insurance as it is correcting a post-traumatic injury, although this would best be determined by a complete evaluation.I actually broke my nose and had it repaired several years later. The most uncomfortable part for me was having a little packing in the nose for 2 days. After that was removed, the nose started feeling better pretty quickly.
