Answer: Is it possible to fix my nasal fracture months after injury? #rhinoplasty #septoplasty At this juncture, your original fracture lines have healed and you will require a controlled attempt at rebreaking the bones to set them into a better position. This may take a bit longer than if it had been attempted in the early 2 weeks after injury, when the bones were potentially more mobile. You may still be able to get insurance coverage for this; it is not uncommon to get coverage even for fractures that occurred years earlier, especially if there is compromise of the breathing on one or both sides.

Answer: Timing to correct a broken nose It is best to repair a broken nose in the first 2-3 weeks. After a couple of months it doesn't really matter how long you wait. The nose has already healed and will have to be re-broken either way. So waiting longer at this time will be no big deal. If we can get to them at the 2 week period it is perfect. Often times the nose will"snap" back into position without bleeding or excessive bruising or swelling. That's the best time for future reference.
