What is the quickest way to correct such a deformity? is there a non surgical way or is surgery the only way? will I have to get my nose bone fractured again? what is the best way to address this problem?

Answer: Traumatic Nasal Deformity The quickest and best way to address this issue is to seek consultation from a Board Certified Surgeon that treats facial trauma, and preferably, one that also understands rhinoplasty. Unfortunately, a nasal fracture of this magnitude is a surgical problem, and it would BEST be addressed within the first 10 days after the injury. This is the current standard of care. Leaving the fracture for longer may result in permanent breathing issues, nasal bleeding, visual deformities, and further nasal twisting and bending with time.
