Am I able to still get sinus surgery and septoplasty when the bridge of my nose is bruised?

April 10, 2016
Asked By:mpooley2 in Hawaii National Park, HI

My son accidentally head butted me in the bridge of my nose 5-6 days ago, it is still painful, with very slight swelling. I have a septoplasty and sinus surgery scheduled for tomorrow and can't get a hold of my ENT to ask him if I can still get the procedure. Does anyone have any insight on septoplasty with a bruised nose?
