Remembering that Mad-Eye is so suspicious of everyone that he only 
drinks from his hip flask, I'm not surprised that he would refuse to 
undergo any spells or drink any potions (such as Skele-Gro) that 
might repair his nose or regrow anything. A spell is probably 
necessary for a replacement leg like Wormtail's hand.  Granted, 
modern Muggle prosthetics are better than that wooden leg, but those 
probably aren't available in the wizarding world since spells are 
usually used.  
Just my theory...
