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: 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 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.

Answer: Nasal Fractures Nasal fractures occur frequently following facial trauma. In many cases, fractures are accompanied by bruising, swelling, bleeding, distortion of nasal structures, deviation of the nose and difficulty breathing through the nose.

Answer: Hit my nose is the damage permanent? Very common question. As you can imagine without an exam it is very difficult to say. Just because a nose is swollen it does not mean that the structures like the bone and cartilage are permanently damaged. An exam and often time will tellGood LuckDr Rahban
