Broken nose by getting head butted in 10/13,had it "fixed" 2 weeks after the incident.Was told the ENT doctor would reset by numbing me & it turned into me going through surgery w/ anesthesia.I dont feel its been fixed as the bump is uneven & I still cant breathe through my left nostril. I just want my bridge & deviated septum fixed so I can breathe, nothing else. I want a surgeon to come in w/ a scalpel & chisel these uneven bumps off the sides of my bridge to achieve my old nose.
