Answer: Broken Nose Thank you for your question. As a general rule, depending on the severity of the injury, as well as your age and a few other factors in your medical history, you may have up to 2 weeks after the date of injury to correct a nasal fracture - this can often be done in the office under local anesthesia. Of course, this is all dependent on your particular circumstances and the details of your injury, most of which cannot be fully assessed without a thorough physical examination. Additionally, it would be best to avoid any strenuous activity, bending at the waist, or nose-blowing for the next few weeks, primarily in order to decrease the risk of bleeding while you're healing.As an alternative, it's reasonable to wait six months or so in order to allow the bones to heal completely, and then undergo nasal surgery such as a rhinoplasty in order to correct any residual deformity that may have arisen from your injury.I hope this helps.

Answer: Broken nose treatment A broken nose is almost never an emergency. In fact it is better to wait for the swelling to recede for at least a week and treatment, if needed, can be performed even years later. Often the visible deformity is minimal after the swelling is gone and there may be minimal breathing problems so no treatment is needed. Patients can make this decision themselves and seek a plastic surgeon later.
