nose has been slightly crooked due to trauma to facial area for almost 2weeks to this date. there was no bleeeding of the nose during time of accident or after just pain and a liltle swelling. but i am between 6-8 weeks pregnant is there anyway i can have my nose fixed without undergoing anestesia??? i need help!
Answer: Reduction of nasal fracture during pregnancy Typically, a closed reduction is best performed within a day of a trauma because, after that, the swelling will make it difficult to evaluate the condition. Two weeks is too long as the bones will have set. I generally wait until 2-3 months have elapsed to evaluate the appearance of the nose and make a plan for surgery. I would not recommend performing elective surgery on a pregnant woman given that anesthesia would certainly be required. After you've recovered from childbirth, you can definitely see a plastic surgeon and explore your options.
