I recently was elbowed on the nose while playing basketball, went to an urgent care they said it wasn't broken or fractured. Is this an easy fix? It happened 2 weeks ago..

Answer: How can I fix my indented nose? It is possible you sustained a nasal fracture during the trauma. At this point it may be too late to reduce the fracture. You may have to wait 6 weeks for a more definitive procedure. Please consult with an experienced nasal surgeon who can examine your nose on the outside and also intranasally.

Answer: Nasal trauma causing an indentation Nasal trauma that causes an indentation that is present even after 2 weeks will need to be repaired. It's important to be examined by an ENT/ facial plastic surgeon, and obtain x-rays for medical documentation. The Surgical procedure may involve osteotomies and even a spreader graft underneath the depressed upper lateral Cartilage. This is a straightforward repair for a busy rhinoplasty surgeon. Nasal surgery is not easy, so to seek out a very experienced surgeon.
