When I was in Grade 2, I broke my nose playing baseball. It has been 8 years but I still feel the repercussions. My nose is slightly crooked and larger than it used to be; it doesn't fit my face very nicely. It is also quite weak. All I have to do is apply a bit of pressure to it and it begins to hurt. Recently I accidentally hit it softly against my brother's head and a crunching sound could be heard. I have also had a breathing problem ever since. Would Rhinoplasty fix all these problems?
