Question 1

how to fix a crooked nose?

Accepted Answer

Rhinoplasty: A crooked or deviated nose usually requires treatment with a rhinoplasty. There are various reasons the nose can be deviated including the nasal bones, the septum or various cartilaginous structures in the nose. You should see a facial plastic surgeon for consultation to determine the source of your deviation and the best way to address it.

Question 2

any advice? i have broke my already crooked nose?

Accepted Answer

Plastic surgery: Depending on your insurance, correction after a broken nose is covered. Depending on the severity of the break (fracture) and the crooked nose, it may be something that can be fixed at the same time. Otherwise, cosmetic deformities unrelated to the injury may need to be counted separately and you would have to pay for that portion of the surgery. The best way to know is to see a plastic surgeon.

Question 3

is it possible to correct a crooked nose after a long time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It would require an actual rhinoplasty though. When a nose is freshly fractured, it can be reduced and set to close to what it was. After a long time, a surgeon has to freshly break bones of your nose and reset it to correct it.

Question 4

broke my nose last night its bent out of shape couldt push it back is it better to die than have a crooked nose?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what u mean: You are going to die sometime.  A crooked nose won't change death or when it happens.  Living might be less nice if the injury affects the airway.  If you want to look better at your own funeral i suggest getting it fixed.
