Question

I have broke my nose a couple of times and now it was gone bent and seems to be a little bigger.

What can be done about this? What type of surgery would I need?

Answer

In general terms, post traumatic rhinoplasty covers aspects related to the alignment changes and distortion of the nose following the injury. However, at the same time it captures general concerns related to shape and size of the nose.

The intervention typically involves surgery on the nasal septum and the external framework for bone and cartilage, and is in practical to this relatively similar to a rhinoplasty that addresses developmental problems.
