Yes: Rhinoplasty just means reshaping the nose. It can be after injury or not. Insurance occasionally pays for it after injury but it's your nickel if you just want to change your appearance.

Yes: Rhinoplasty can correct or improve a broken nose. Depending on the specifics, the nasal septum may need to be straightened as well. Insurance will typically cover some or all of the procedure based on what is reconstructive vs cosmetic.

Absolutely: After nasal trauma, complete correction of the deformity may require more than simply re fracturing and repositioning the nasal bones. A foal rhinoplasty may be required for complete correction.
