How often do broken noses need additional treatment?
When you break the bone in your nose, you can also damage the cartilage in your nose. Sometimes healthcare providers decide they need to fix both bone and cartilage. In that case, they perform a septorhinoplasty (sep-tor-rye-no-plasty). This surgery improves the appearance of your nose (rhinoplasty) and improves how you breathe through your nose (septosplasty.)
