haha i really couldn't care less about popularity

it doesn't seem like it's too crooked though, my parents don't think i should get it fixed back into place

i was skiing and went to jump off of something and didn't realize there was a fucking ditch at the bottom of the jump, so i didn't clear it totally and my ski got caught

which caused me to land flat on my chest and face haha, but i think my goggles blocked some of it and that's why my nose isn't totally crooked and messed up
blood was everywhere

my chest hurts too which is great, i'd hate my life even more if i broke ribs

it didn't hurt all that bad though, i skied the rest of the day no problem after first aid released me

they way to test when it has healed is, every morning when you wake up just give your nose a solid hit and when it doesn't hurt then it is better.

glad to help

broke my nose when i was 8, the doctor reset it, wore a bandage for about a week, now it looks  as if it was never broken, but they said it was because of my age, had two black eyes though for about 3 weeks

then only negative out i got out of it is that now i snore

if it were me i would just go talk to a reconstructive surgeon, depending on how you broke it you might not have to get it fixed,if you have multiple breaks then you might want to get it fixed, unless a bump or crooked nose doesnt bother you

broke mine a few years ago mountain biking. It healed pretty fast, only problem was I had to DJ at a club two nights after I snapped my nose. So it was safe to say I was not bringing home any women
