Rhinoplasty After a Broken Nose?

I broke my nose in a few places just two days ago. I have been wanting to get rhinoplasty anyway and was hoping that since it's broken anyway I could just get it now. Is this a possibility?

Nasal fractrure and rhinoplasty

The key thing for you right now is to see a rhinoplasty expert to make sure that your bones and septum are not displaced.  If they are you will need a reduction. I would not do a rhinoplasty at this time and would put it off for at least 6 months.

Timing of rhinoplasty after nasal fracture

Have a plastic surgeon look at it now, but expect that nothing will be done for 6 months or more.  Nasal fractures should not be "fixed" until most of the healing is done.  I like to wait six months at least and longer if I can.  And I find that the nose needs a significant amount grafting if it is deviated.  This is not a normal aesthetic rhinoplasty!

Rhinoplasty after Broken Nose

Be evaluted by a surgeon within the next week. It is possible to have a closed reduction of  any displaced nasal bones at this time. If the result is not satisfactory or you want additional improvement, wait 3-6 months and then have definitive changes with a rhinoplasty which is difficult to achieve immediately after trauma.

Nose job 2 days after Nasal Fracture

Hi, If your nasal bone have significant displacement at this time, you should have a plastic surgeon look at you for a possible closed reduction to realign the nasal bones now. Then you can have a formal open reduction nasal fracture after 3 months time and fix any cosmetic issues at that time. Best, Dr.S.
