About 4 years ago I had an accident were
my nose was pretty badly broken, at the
time I was about 15 and my parents were
both away, I tried asking my moms friend
to drive me to the clienic to have it
fixed but she refused, so I did what I
could to make it like straight. So as
you would guess its not exactly that
straight but I did do a descent job, I
think that it might also be causing minor
breathing problems, but not enough that
insurance would cover it. So my question
is... Should I just brake it again and
have it fixed (straightened) or go and get
rhinoplasty, in which case I don't have
that much money and wouldn't exactly be my
first option. Could rebraking it do alot
of damage? Ive met people who have had
there nose broken several times and it
looks alot better then mine dose, since
they saw a doctor right afterwards, so if
anyone has some advice...

I had the same thing happen. When I was
about 14 I got hit in the face with a
baseball helmet (on a girl's head of
course) when she slid into home. Then my
friend hit my nose with her head when we
were 16. I got my rhinoplasty when I was
17. It was covered by medical because my
nose was really crocked and I was sniffing
all the time and snoring and all that. So
I got it fixed. All I can tell u about
the procedure is it hurt so bad! Lol
although i'm happy with how straight they
did it, I wouldn't get it done
again...Ever. I see ur from canada.
Where abouts are u from? I'm from bc, and
if ur from the same area I could give u
the name of the specialist I saw. He was
great. Very good quality work :) the only
problems for me were the pain (obviously
lol) and the fact that I couldn't get up
for a week. Lol I hate not being able to
get up and do something..... Good luck
with ur search for answers... I hope I
helped.
