I am 22 year old female with fair (and probably thin) skin. I weigh 53kg. I broke my nose 12 weeks ago playing sport, and did not have it reset as it was only a confirmed break ~3 weeks post injury. Will a rhinoplasty improve the appearance of my nose? The dorsal hump is more obvious post injury, and there is some asymmetry (or so I think), especially under certain lighting. Thanks so much for any advice!

Answer: How you may benefit from rhinoplasty Thank you for your question and photos. I’m sorry to hear about your injury and the unwanted changes to your nose’s appearance. It is possible that rhinoplasty can redefine the dorsal hump and create a more symmetrical shape that is balanced with the rest of your facial features. If you have thin nasal skin, grafts may be inserted to provide adequate structural support and achieve the desired result.

Answer: Will a rhinoplasty improve the appearance of your nose? Will a rhinoplasty improve the appearance of your nose? The swelling and reaction around the fracture site can take a few months to resolve, so your nose will probably look better in a few months with nothing but tincture of time. The x-ray seems to show a very slightly in fractured right nasal bone which seems to correspond to a slight asymmetry in one of your photos. you also appear to have a tiny dorsal hump and a slightly bulbous tip. If you wish to address those issues after three or four months of healing that is an option you would have, but I doubt the injury itself will cause enough reason to seek a Rhinoplasty just for that. in other words if you liked your nose before the fracture, it will probably be very similar to what you had once all this swelling and reaction is gone. There could however remain a slight inward curvature on the right side.

Answer: Septo-rhinoplasty may in fact be indicated after your nasal trauma. Based on your photos, you Appear to have a crooked nasal appearance with a dorsal hump and a wide droopy tip. Your CAT scan also confirms the presence of a nasal fracture and a deviated nasal septum. Consider consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who can address your nasal concerns, both functionally and cosmetically with one operation. Hope this helps and best of luck!
