Hi bullden,

So sorry to hear about your nose injury after your skating accident! We see patients in this same situation quite frequently, unfortunately. Since you're 14, a facial plastic surgeon and ear/nose/throat surgeon would have to have you in for an exam and ask some questions to make sure your nose is finished growing and changing. One of the indicators to answer that is whether your shoe size is still changing. If your feet are still growing, it's possible that your nose is still growing & changing as well. The nasal surgery to fix a broken nose (bones only) can sometimes be done, even if you're still growing, so please visit your local plastic surgeon. Often times, the surgeon won't even need to cut the area between the nostrils to get into the nose. It can sometimes be done without incisions (a closed rhinoplasty). Are you near NYC or Long Island? If yes, feel free to call my office at 631.499.1831 or 212.206.0023 to schedule a free consult (and bring mom/dad with you). I wish you all the best!

Dr. Asare
