Closed Reduction for Slight Nasal Fracture?

Dear Paul with nasal fracture from Land O Lakes, FL
I reviewed your post injury photo. It is difficult to evaluate your fracture or degree of injury to your nose by looking at this picture. A displaced nasal bone and septum as result of injury can be easily diagnosed by direct nasal evaluation and nasal X-Ray. If your surgeon suggested a closed reduction, you may want to do this procedure rather than waiting for a few weeks to have a more complex surgery. For simple displace nasal bone fracture closed reduction and internal fixation is an excellent option. Remember you have only one week window period after initial injury to have this procedure
 

It is best to be evaluated within 4 weeks of a nasal fracture. We can often perform a closed reduction (without the need for surgery) during this time frame. X-rays are not needed. I do not foresee the need for Septoplasty in your case. A board certified Rhinoplasty surgeon is your best option. Medi pot may help clear you up in a few days, but you should seek an expert to examine you and make recommendations. Dr. Gross,  Orlando.
