I Broke my Nose Yesterday. Good Time for Nose Job?

It is difficult to give you advice without examining you in person. If you were planning on having a rhinoplasty anyway, it would be necessary to wait for the swelling from the trauma to go down first.  If you were not planning on having a rhinoplasty right away, I would recommend having a closed nasal reduction within one week of the incident.  A great start would be to schedule a consultation with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist who has a great deal of experience. Thank you and I hope this helps.

Rhinoplasty is an operation of finesse. Right after a nasal fracture, there is usually swelling and bruising.This obscures the delicate nasal features that are assessed before and during rhinoplasty. In addition, the fractures in the nasal bones are usually irregular, random. If a nose requires osteotomies (controlled surgical breaks in the nasal bones) during rhinoplasty, a traumatic fracture can cause the surgical fractures to be uncontrolled.

Most surgeons will therefore wait 6-12 months after a nasal fracture before performing rhinoplasty. There are occasional exceptions to this rule.

Also note that the fracture should usually be repaired within 10 days of the injury. See a board certified plastic surgeon or otolaryngologist familiar with both fractures and rhinoplasty within a week of your injury. Good luck.
