Will a rhinoplasty improve the appearance of my nose? Broken playing a sport (photos)

Hi!
I commonly see patients that find themselves in a similar situation to yours. Nasal trauma can results in the nasal bridge being deviated/crooked from the front and this is a common indication for getting nasal surgery. In many cases, people can develop problems breathing after the injury and this can typically be addressed at the time of surgery as well. Usually I recommend waiting 3-6 months after the injury for definitive repair and if you plan on continuing to do activities where you'd be at risk of re-injuring your nose, this should be part of the discussion as well. Hope that helps!

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.

Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to review your medical records and discuss your concerns and goals with you to determine the best approach.

Hello,
It seems you have developed a hump on the bridge of your nose after the trauma. This can be corrected with rhinoplasty surgery, which will also improve the asymmetric curved appearance of your nose.
