Its been 2 days since a "flying" soccer ball landed straight to my nose with a great force. I didnt bleed, nor was I in pain except for the first 2-3 minutes. Theme is, now the left side of the bridge of my nose is a little bit more swollen than the right ( and a bit harder when i touch it). The difference is slight, but still there is. Could you please tell me whether it could be something permanent? If its not, when should I expect the swelling to leave? Im too worried. Thank you in advance.
Answer: Hit my nose, does the swelling mean permanent damage? Trauma to the nose displaced nasal fracture, or a non-displaced fracture. Trauma can also cause swelling. Swelling should subside about two weeks if there is no nasal fracture present. If the swelling is still present after two weeks, probably best to seek out consultation by a ENT/facial plastic surgeon to document the extent of injury and perform x-rays. For many examples of rhinoplasty to straighten a crooked and broken nose, please see the link and the video below

CONTACT NOW Answer: Get an evaluation by a plastic surgeon if the swelling does not involve any broken bone underneath, then it will not be permanent. if the change is due to a broken bone (which typically causes bleeding when it happens from inside the nose), then it may need to be straightened out to make sure it heals similar to what it looked like before. If 3-4 days go by and you still see the difference, it may not just be minor swelling, and it may indicate a fracture underneath. Seek out a plastic surgeon for an evaluation as to whether you may have broken your nose. If so, it needs to be fixed within the first two weeks of the injury.

Answer: I Hit my Nose, Is the Swelling Mean Permanent Damage? Hello and thank you so much for your question. With the amount of swelling still present, this can create the appearance of asymmetry and irregularities. I suggest an in-person consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist to ensure permanent damage was not done to the nose and to take the correct measures in a timely fashion. I hope this information helps and I wish you the best of luck.

Answer: Nasal trauma and swelling It is very difficult to tell if a nose is broken without a clinical examination. The initial swelling can mask any underlying fracture and under these circumstances it is best to seek an opinion first and your surgeon will carry out a complete examination including visualisation of the septum. It is then advisable to wait a couple of weeks for the swelling to subside and have a further examination. If the nasal bones are broken this is better assessed at this stage and a manipulation of the nasal bones can be carried out .

Answer: Swelling after nasal injury Hopefully the swelling is just from the impact and not a sign of a cartilage or bony injury in the nose. As the swelling subsided after 4-5 days seek an evaluation by a specialist to assess if there is any displacement of the septum, the cartilages and nasal bones. Your doctor may order an X-ray or CT scan to confirm as well. At that point you may have several options for repair, or observation if your injury is minor. Best of luck to you!!

Answer: Swelling after trauma... It is totally normal to have swelling over the nose after trauma, and this usually goes away by 2-4 weeks. It would be advisable to see a nasal specialist to make sure there is no fracture or internal damage.
