4 years post septorhinoplasty: had a hard hit to nasal bridge and a cut and bump formed - advice? (photos)

Hi @ECM012987. If your nose did not bleed internally, you probably didn't fracture it then. What your are noticing is swelling of the lining of your nasal bone. I recommend that you ice the area. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

In general. If there is no nasal bleeding after trauma, there may not be a broken bone. You are seeing swelling of the lining of your nasal bone which will improve. Consider frozen peas, 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off for a day. If your bump doesn’t improve or if you should experience severe pain, you should see an ENT specialist. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

If your nose didn't bleed from the inside you probably didn't break it, and it simply may be swelling that you're seeing. If your nose is in a lot of pain you should consider a plastic surgery eval to make sure it's not broken, which may require surgery sooner. otherwise the bump can be reassessed down the road as the swelling resolves, as it most likely will go away on its own. Good luck!
