What Is Broken Nose Treatment?

This specialized ENT procedure treats nasal fractures caused by trauma, such as accidents or sports injuries, affecting bone or cartilage. Options include non-surgical realignment under local anesthesia or surgical interventions like septoplasty or rhinoplasty for complex cases or septal hematomas.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The process starts with a detailed nasal evaluation, often using imaging to assess fractures. Minor misalignments are corrected through realignment under local anesthesia, while complex fractures may require septoplasty or rhinoplasty under general anesthesia. Procedures, lasting 30–90 minutes, address fractures, hematomas, or deformities, ensuring accurate restoration of nasal structure and function with minimal discomfort.

What to Expect During Recovery

After treatment, swelling or mild discomfort may last 1–7 days; ice packs help manage swelling. Follow aftercare instructions, such as avoiding trauma or intense activity. Non-surgical realignments allow immediate return to activities, while surgical cases may need 1–2 weeks of rest. Full nasal function and aesthetics improve within weeks, with follow-ups ensuring complete recovery.
