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: Rhinoplasty for the crooked nose, etc. Rhinoplasty for the crooked nose, with wide tip and hump can be done. Insurance will pay for straightening the nose. The cost is dependent on what u want done.

Answer: It's been a year since I broke my nose, can I still fix my slanted/broken nose? A rhinoplasty could address the slanted nature and the hump at the same time.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

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.
