Please Help

I'm 16 years old, when I was 14 I dived into a pool and hit my nose extremely hard on the pool's floor, and now I have a permanent dorsal hump. Not only did I get a dorsal hump, I think I have a deviated septum, because my left nostril is a lot easier to breath through than my right nostril, and not only that my left nostril also got much bigger than my right one . I used to love how my nose looked, it was hump-less and my nostrils were even, but now I have ruined that. Please tell me what I have to do, not only do I worry about how my nose looks, but more importantly on my breathing, and whether or not it will effect me or even if my problem will get worse. I will go through what I need to to get fix my nose's problems, and am willing to get surgery if  need to. Please tell me what I should do, and thanks for the help.

You need to see an Nose, throat and ear specialist to get this straightened out. The breathing difficulties will  not get better until you have plastic surgery, and the septum in your nose straight as it should be.

You should make an appointment to see your doctor for a referral to an Ears, Nose and Throat specialist.

Although plastic surgeons will correct the look of your nose, I am not sure if they will work on the deviation, there also may be other problems inside further inside the nose.

Your doctor should be able to advise you with regard to that and refer you to the correct specialist.

Best wishes.

There's no other way then plastic surgery. You have to do it. Breathing problem artificial use can be temporary. You better fix your nose by only plastic surgery. That's the only way :)
