How Long Must I Wait After Broken Nose/closed Reduction to Have Repair Rhinoplasty?

Asked By:bnjmnkrs

Hello, on the 4th of January I was in a car accident and broke my nose (minor nasal pyramid displacement). I went to an ENT specialist and he scheduled a closed reduction for one week after the accident - unfortunately, he encountered some difficulty during the reduction and couldn't properly set it back in place. I'm now looking to have whatever operation necessary to fix the issue. My question is, how long must I wait after closed reduction to have rhinoplasty to fix any assymetry? Thank you.
