My 17 y/o son had an accident while playing a sport 2 days ago. He had a concussion and a broken and displaced nose. The ER doctor said to take him in about 7 to 10 days to an ENT to evaluate him, take some x-rays and the subsequent surgery. I wonder if a plastic surgeon would be a better option for this kind of injury. Thanks for your help

Answer: Choosing a surgeon for nasal fracture
It is important to find a surgeon who has performed thousands of nasal surgeries for your best results. Chances are the internal portion of the nose is also fractured as well, and will require an ENT/facial plastic surgeon to address both the internal and external components of the nose. Look for a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in noses and in rhinoplasty

Answer: Which Kind of Specialist is Better to Repair a Broken (Displaced) Nose, an ENT or a Plastic Surgeon? Whether you see a Facial Plastic Surgeon, ENT or Plastic Surgeon you will be well cared for as long as they are familiar with "closed reduction" and rhinoplasty procedures. These are commonly performed by all of the above specialities. You might want to call the office and ask how many of these procedures the ENT performs. It is important to followup during the first two weeks because the nose can be straightened, in many cases, without surgery prior to two weeks following the injury. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Answer: Plastic surgeon vs Facial plastic surgeon vs ENT for nasal fracture repair
When a nose is injured, it's not only important to restore the function of the nose, it's important to restore the appearance and the aesthetics as well.
You should feel comfortable that your prospective surgeon is comfortable with both functional and aesthetic rhinoplasty.
There are many members of each group who are, and many who are not. There are highly competent surgeons in each group.
Besides reviewing the credentials in advance of the appointment, you may want to ask for before-after pictures to review. Most surgeons who pride themselves on their nasal work will have a number to review.
