How long should I wait after facial trauma before a rhinoplasty? (Photo)

In order to complete the recovery of nasal bone and soft tissues, you should wait 1 year after facial trauma. If the surgery is performed before completing the nasal bone recovery, the bone deformity possibility is high. 

Hello. Sorry to hear about your fall and injury. A nasal fracture can be corrected in a closed manner with manipulation of the bone for the first 7-10 days. Often, the correction is insufficient and patients desiring better cosmesis go on to have a formal rhinoplasty operation 6-12 months later. Your deviated septum can be repaired at the same time with a septorhinoplasty procedure at that time. The portion related to breathing may be covered by OHIP but likely not the cosmetic portion of the procedure. Please see a board-certified surgeon in consultation.
Best Regards,

We like to wait at least six months from the time of injury before reoperation. You should see an ENT or plastic surgeon to be re evaluated. I’m not sure if Canada’s heath care system will cover what they think is cosmetic or whether you will be paying out of pocket.

Is best to wait 3 to 6 months After your nasal and facial injury before undergoing any cosmetic surgery  on the nose.
