Which Kind of Specialist is Better to Repair a Broken (Displaced) Nose, an ENT or a Plastic Surgeon?

Both of these specialties are trained to fix a broken nose. It is important that your surgeon whether ENT or Plastic Surgeon is comfortable fixing broken noses and has done many of them. Good luck and good healing.

  It is important to find  a surgeon who has performed thousands  of nasal surgeries for your best results.  Chances are the internal portion of the nose is also fractured as well, and will require an ENT/facial plastic surgeon to address both the internal and external components of the nose. Look for a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in noses and in rhinoplasty

Whether you see a Facial Plastic Surgeon, ENT or Plastic Surgeon you will be well cared for as long as they are familiar with "closed reduction" and rhinoplasty procedures. These are commonly performed by all of the above specialities. You might want to call the office and ask how many of these procedures the ENT performs. It is important to followup during the first two weeks because the nose can be straightened, in many cases, without surgery prior to two weeks following the injury. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS
