I broke my nose 4 times and finally had it corrected about 2 years ago. They corrected the septum and performed "Turbine modification." Pretty much everything the others have said is correct, except i had no packing at all. i had to wear a strap over my face holding a piece of gauze in place.

In my own experience, for the first couple of weeks, I couldn't bend over without my nose running like a faucet. I had to go back for follow ups at like 4 and 6 weeks to have the sutures/stitches removed. That, by far, was the worst. They sprayed a numbing substance up each nostril and pulled them out. The drip down the back of my throat was absolutely disgusting.
