I broke my nose in Primary school and I'm 14 now. When it was first broken in year 6 It didn't turn out that bad. I don't know for exactly how long it's been like this but the bone in the bridge sticks up, and I can feel it sticking up when i touch it. I really hate it, because from the side it looks really bad. It's not naturally big but after Ive broken it it's been really bad. I could get an operation , but my mum thinks It will get into shape as I'm growing. I disagree because it's broken, not just big. I could get an operation, but my mum said the doctors might say no because I'm still growing. But if i don't do anything now, it could get worse. And it really hurts when I touch it :( Do you think i could get an operation to get it back to it's normal size, without being broken ?

Hun, I had the same thing happen to me. The nose will NOT fix itself.
All you need to do is go to and ENT Dr. and tell them that you can't breathe. Insurance will cover that.
I had a nose job and it has changed my life!!!!
I love my new nose! No more big 'honker'.
It will change your life and your self confidence will go out the roof!!!!!!
Good Luck sweetie

I'm not to sure if it could go back to its exact normal size but the Doctors probably will be able to make it smaller but i agree with your mum abit because it could get better as your growing.

yes you can get the operation and you probably should since it gives you pain. you should definitely get the operation if you have trouble breathing from either or both nostrils.
i have a similar problem, but no pain and no problem breathing - it just looks a little funny, but i'm hot anyway so i'm not worried about it
he hee

your body shape changes as you get older but your nose doesn't if you have a bone sticking out of your nose your mother shouldn't be so close minded she should be concerned about your complex and tell her you hate yourself and that you hate your nose and tell her that it hurts and you hate it and you will kill yourself if she doesn't take you to the doctors to get his opinion and have him fix it lol that'll do it!

to be honest it depends how much its hurting, if its bad go see a doctor and as what he thins ont he idea on having a operation. dont listen to mum ur nose, u will have to live with it so its ur decision.

The actual operation requires them to break the nose again and set it where they want it. You probably just need to live with what you have.

You could go get plastic surgery on it. That might help
