There is no time lmitation on improving the apperance of a nose after an old injury.I wouldsuggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal surgery experience whois certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member ofthe American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plasticsurgeon that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss yourconcerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
The time after trauma is not a contraindication to repair.Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
