Question:
After a recent boxing injury in which I took a severe blow to the nose, I have had trouble breathing. Would a rhinoplasty procedure fix this problem?
Answer:
Boxing injuries can be quite severe. Usually a septoplasty in combination with a rhinoplasty will be required to repair the functional and cosmetic damage your nose has sustained. I would caution you that once you have had a septorhinoplasty performed you should probably not continue to engage in boxing as a form of exercise if you would like to keep the appearance and function of your nose.
