"All matters concerning to the nose are treated by ent (ear nose throat..."

Dear Cedric, all matters concerning to the nose are treated by ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialists having a good hold on the surgical operations. Usually only experienced and highly professional ENT specialists are given this type of tasks and they do it with utmost care and seriousness as it may cause some other problems as well if not done properly and seriously.

This answer closely relates to:

Slightly broken nose afraid

Q. Fixing a broken nose?
i have had a broken nose my entire life, it was broken when i was a little kid, and i didn't go to the doctor and it grew crooked, and when i went to the doctor they told me i have to wait until i am 18 because they will have to break it and put it back in place, well i am 19 now and i am not sure if i should go get it fixed, i can only breathe through one of my nostrils, and i kind of speak through my nose makes it hard for people to understand what i say sometimes, whats the best way to get it fixed.. surgery?

"They can either re-break your nose and put a cast on it..."

you should go get it fixed. They can either re-break your nose and put a cast on it, which is painful, or you can go into surgery in which the access cartilage which made your nose grow crooked, can be cut off, shaped, and bent back into place. I would recommend the surgery

Q. Broken nose?
hey guys... i broke my nose on friday :( i have been told of the doctor that it could be fixed. i haven't had any problems with breathing, it doesn't look chaneged. i have to decide today if i want the operation or not, but i am crazy scared of all kind of operations. does anyone has a broken nose ... and no problems after that, but without fixing? i mean.... i know there is a risk that my breathing might be changed if they don't fix it... but is it for sure... plese give me an advice. thanks

"My nose has been broken 4 times-i've never even seen a doctor..."

My nose has been broken 4 times-I've never even seen a doctor. If you aren't having problems with breathing now, you won't ever. I think this is all about $ on the doctor's part.

Q. Could my nose be broken?
when i was about 7 or 8, i was kicked in the face by my cousin while he was on the swings (lol). i don't know exactly what happened after but i have a scar on the side of my nose where i was hit. i'm 17 now and have noticed that i have a bump on the bridge of my nose and like ive realised that my breathing is weird.. when i take normal breaths through my nose it feels like my nose is slightly congested or blocked and i was wondering if this was caused by my incident. i'm assuming my nose is broken cos i didnt have that bump when i was younger, it kind of developed after that accident. im going to see a doctor to refer me to a specialist... but i was just curious in the meantime, like whether it could be broken or i just have some sort of allergy? and if it is broken, my symptoms aren't huge so if i want to fix it, would a healthcare card cover the costs at all?

"It may have been broken..."

It may have been broken. But it's not broken now, it would have healed pretty close to them time it happened. But yeah, it could be the cause of the bump you now have. As to if heathcare will cover costs to fix it - they will, but it's probably going to need surgery and that's an elective procedure (meaning that it is not urgent or life threatening). You'll end up on a waiting list could be waiting for years (for something like that where I live it could be 10 years).

Q. How long can one wait to go get treated if you just broke your nose?
this is the problem...i don't know how long it's gonna take for me to get transportation to the x-ray so that i can confirm my nose is broken. my nose is kind of crooked to the right. i broke it 3 days ago.... if i wait any longer, would it be more difficult to put my nose back in its place??? i mean, its taking a little long already....but how long before my nose becomes fixed in this new position?? i don't want it to get fixed there!!! should i go to a doctor immediately?? tomorrow? or do i have leeway?

"As you can assume its broken (as will the er..."

To be honest, most nose doctors (ENT) don't want tio see you until 3-5 to 7 days AFTER the injury because the swelling needs to go down & they need to be sure no infection is setting in. The ER will only refer you anyway. So you may just want to skip that step and have your doc refer you to an ENT or plastics. You don't need that Xray so fast, as you can assume its broken (as will the ER). So you are fine, don't worry, about time.

Q. What kind of lawyer would i go to for this issue my cousins boyfriend was at work and 2 guys tried to beat hi
him up young guys, he did not hit them at all but he was able to hold them down then the one guys girlfriend came up and started to kick him in the genital area which made him let go and the guys got up and thats when they started to beat him....he has stitches on his face a broken nose and the tube that you breathe through your nose is broken as well i believe there may be another injury but im not to sure, his job fired the 2 men but would not let him leave to seek medical care the one lady wanted him to see their doctor but the boss said ill fix it and put a gaugze bandage on his face the guy had to stay at work had blood all over him, drove him and almost passed out lord knows how he got home and his girlfriend my cousin had to bring him to the hospital i believe they went to the police station and pressed charges on the guys he went back to his job told him he would be back on tuesday and he wanted to pick up his check well they are now saying he doesnt have a job and they are they are holding his check because they claim he didnt leave a glove at work and he has it but he left it there and never took it with him so they are now holding his check on top of this. my question is what type of lawyer can they go to to sue his job or the guys or what exactly can be done?

Q. What’s going on with my vision? please help!?
hello. i was diagnosed with myopia (near-sightedness) when i was like 9 years old, and i have worn glasses ever since. i am 22 years old now and my vision has gotten progressively worse as expected, but in these past months it seems like my vision has been getting a lot worse at a much faster rate. everything past a foot is a complete blur. i have to literally be like a foot away from the computer monitor in order to read the text. there are three things -- which i’m about to describe in separate paragraphs below -- that are possibly to blame, i just don’t know which one it is exactly and what i can do to fix the problem. for one, i haven’t gotten a new eyeglass prescription in several years now. last year i went to the eye doctor and got a prescription for contact lenses, but i rarely wear them, which means i wear my old, outdated glasses almost predominantly the entire day. secondly, these old, outdated glasses are broken. i accidently sat on them awhile ago and broke one of the nose rest pads and curved part of of one of the legs. they also got bended to hell, but i did my best to bend them back into shape. the end end result is that they fit on my face, but at an angle because one end is slightly higher than the other. i cannot do anything about it because they’re already on the verge of completely breaking. i have heard that wearing them at an angle is harmful and it strains your vision. lastly, in the past months i have been more stressed than usual and i’ve been spending a lot of time on the computer. by a lot of time, i mean almost half-a-day every day (with breaks in between ofcourse). when i’m on the computer at night, my eyes almost always hurt and my vision gets blurry, so i have to massage them constantly. it feels like they are having a hard time focusing. what do you believe is going on with my eyes? is it a correctable problem, is it just that my eyes are strained, or is my vision permanently messed up? i know i have been neglectful to my eyes but these past months have not been very good for me and i’m trying to get myself back in order, including my health. i cannot help but think that if i were ever in some kind of emergency, i would be at a severe disadvantage because of my poor eyesight and dire dependance on eyeglasses. thanks.

my visions are also getting blur because of sitting in from of the comp almost everyday for long period of time. i also find it hard to focus. this freaks me out seriously! im sorry i dont know what i can do to help u. but this is what im going to do, let ur eye relax for a few days. dun strain it anymore. dont sit in front of the comp for too long time. hopefully this will make both our visions be good again

Q. Why am i so flawed? there are so many things about me that needs fixing to do?
first of all, i suffer from horrible acne. i break out a lot and after it goes way it turns into these red-like scars that make me so ugiy. i have these scars all over my face, head, chest and back. they're like all over the place! i feel so gross when i get out of the shower and look at myself in the mirror because it looks as if i've been hit by a truck and somehow survived with all these scars ... all over my body ... and face ... it's so sickening ... ughhh ... now on to my nose, ughhhhhhh i absolutely hate my nose the most. it's huuuuuge like that of a pig's. i'm serious! my nose is so big and wide to the point it looks abnormal. i was born with extra skin on the base of my nostrils so when i smile it gets even wider and ugiier. people had always made fun of me because of my ugiy nose, calling me names such as "flatty" and "pig nose" i hate it so much!!!! i really wish to have a more thinner, smaller, and pointer nose because i think those noses look sooooooooo pretty! and it absolutely fits my face, too, if only i had that kind of nose. okay now on to my voice. i would like to say that it's undeveloped. which means that it hasn't even broke yet. i have a very high-pitched voice to the point i kinda sound like a girl. people had always mistaken me to be a girl when i speak on the phone. i get embarrassed so i often don't talk that much any more. i am already 17 years old but i don't know why my voice is not changing yet. i've been considering on going to the doctor's to get checked out and maybe they could somehow hand me some medication to make those "testosterone male hormones" to kick in a bit and deepen my voice. and last but not least ... i have such a hard time gaining weight. i eat and eat and eat but guess what? i gain 0 pounds! zero! no matter how much i eat i'm always skinny like a tooth pick. my bones stick out because i'm too skinny and it makes me look sooooo unattractive. i have an extremely high metabolism so it is difficult for me to even gain a single pound. if only i was a bit more big and muscular i would've been sooooooooo good looking! but man am i unfortunate to have all these f*cking flaws. damn it does god hate me that much? i mean, there's nothing about me that screams "attractive" or "appealing" at all, but rather i'm "unattractive" every where!!!!! i'm not trying to be a perfectionist or anything ... but i seriously need to fix all these flaws. you don't know how much impact it's having on my self-esteem. i'm very depressed at the moment and had even think about kiliing myself already ... i can't stand being ugiy any more ... i just want to be handsome once and for all ...... please ..... please i'm begging for handsomeness ... now you see how un-perfect i am? i'm extremely flawed ...... and i don't know what to do any more ..... please take the time to read the whole thing. it's the only way to truly understand what i'm going through ...

I have four words: Go to a doctor.

Q. I'm probably the ugliest person out there! need help with my appearance!?
i'm a 14 year old asian girl and theres many, many, many things wrong with my appearance. i belive i'm probably the worlds ugliest person! everyday i wake up and look in the mirror hoping to see a new face, but all i see is just an ugly girl staring back at me. sometimes i would lock myself inside my room and break down into tears. if you guys know any information to help me fix the problems below then please answer! the questions are in brackets. please don't suggest me to get plastic surgery! -face i have soo much things from with my face! i have a really square and chubby face and really high cheek bones. whenever i smile it makes my nose look huge and makes my face look even fatter and bigger than it normally is! (is there any way to make me smile again? and is there any way to fix my chubby and square shaped face?) i also have a really flat, big and round nose (is there any way to make my nose look higher and sharper without contouring?) i also have really thick eyebrows it's gotten thinner after i plucked them but they look so black! i want the hairs to become shorter and lighter colored (is there any way to make them shorter and lighter without plucking myself like a chicken?) -body i hate my body shape. my thighs, calves, butt and stomach are huge! i have a pear shaped body and i absolutely hate it!!!! all my fat has been stored on my butt, thighs, calves and stomach, but lately over the past few months i've been excersising daily maybe a little bit too much because my lower body has became really hard, it's full of muscles. i'm afraid i can't lose those muscles it's gotten even bigger before i started excersising. (is there any way to lose all that muscle and become skinnier?) also when i said all my fat is stored on my lower body, that means theres no fat on my upper body, including my chest!!!!!!! i still wear a training bra....because i literally dont have any fat on my chest, it's horrible! yet i already have my period 2 years ago. when i wear the smallest cupped bra, it looks as if theres a huge space between the cup and my chest! (is there any way to make my breasts bigger without the use of pills or plastic surgery?) -skin i absolutely hate my skin! i have this type of skin called kp short for keratosis pilaris where small red bumps on my arms, thighs, butt, and cheeks form, it gets worse in the winter and when you scratch it! i heard that kp is untreadable i even asked my doctor (is there any way to make my kp less visible?) and i also have some acne problems but not as worse as my kp. i have some few spots here and there and they get really red and big over time, it's so annoying! (any way to reduce the redness and size of my pimples?) i also have this huge scar on my elbow caused by falling on concrete in grade 6, it looks like a skin colored leech stuck on my elbow. it's a type of scar that creates a bump and it feels really smooth for some reason. it is 2.5 cm long and 0.8 cm wide. i tried all kinds of products to reduce the size of that scar but nothing works! (is there any product that reduces the size of my scar that actualy works?) i have a really disgusting color to my face, it sort of a yellow tan kind of color, kinda looks like yellow puke. i really want whiter skin! because tan skin looks awful on me. (is there any way to make my skin whiter?) awee thanks for all your answers guys! i really appreciate it. now that i look it over i do seem a little overreacting. i guess i'm not fully matured yet. i'll just let time pass by another few years and see if anything changes. ps the reason why i'm not putting up a picture is because, i think i'm hideous and whatever you guys say will probably make me break down in tears....yes i really need to work on my self-esteem

"As for your nose..."

there is only one thing wrong with your appearance - your confidence! trust me, no one looking at you will notice even a small percentage of the things you just listed about yourself. what they will see is someone who is miserable, and that is something you can change really easily. a friend of mine growing up was just gorgeous, looked like a little doll. then she got hit by a car and lost one eye and has a mis-shaped skull as a result. she, her family and friends are all just so happy she is alive, no-one thinks she is any less beautiful now at all, in fact she is even more precious so more beautiful to us than ever. her strength and courage to recover through that is what shines through and men just adore her. which proves that beauty comes from within. but you are 14 and self-obsessed and looking in the mirror and won't believe any of this so here are a few tips to help you out. sigh. chubby face - chew a lot. sugar-free gum or things like beef jerky etc. chewing a lot tones up your jawline and makes it more defined. as for your nose, use a little light concealer (a shade lighter than your skin tone) down the centre or bridge of your nose. it will give it more definition (just blend it in so you don't just have a stripe). if you have make up on for an occasion etc, you can use a little light shimmer for this too. body shape - walk. there's no quick fix, you just need to excercise to tone up. walking is great as you can do other things like chat to a friend or plan your week etc while you do it and it is not too strenuous. it will also make you feel good about yourself and tone up your calves. when you sit in front of the tv next, use a couple of hand weights and just play with them. lift them, rotate them whatever, it will all work to tone up your arms. you can even just use things you have lying around the house. skin - drink lots of water. focus on having a drink first thing in the morning and try and have at least a glass every hour. just plain water. try not to touch your face with your hands so the oil from your hands doesn't block your pores. wash your face well twice a day, morning and night. use a gentle toner designed for acne prone skin. and replace junk food with fresh vegies and fruit. if you do evena couple of these things you will start to feel better and it will translate to how you see yourself. who says your nose is too big? compared to what? i'll bet that plenty of people would think you look just fine exactly as you are, so only make any lifestyle changes if it will make you feel better about yourself, not so you will look like what you think other people will like.
