Displaced nose post op - what treatment would you recommend?

If a displaced nasal bone on a CT scan does not lead to a visible change in the nasal appearance, it is a good idea not to intervene with surgery. For clarification on your question, please reach out to your surgeon or another local reputable rhinoplasty specialist for an evaluation. I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. If your nasal appearance has not been altered and your breathing is okay, then you should likely follow your surgeon’s advice and not not undergo an unnecessary intervention . I recommend that you maintain close follow up with your surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

As long as your nose is straight from the external appearance, and your breathing is acceptable and you've had an examination by your surgeon, probably just leave well enough alone. We only fix noses that are crooked upon visual inspection. It would be best to post to set of photographs.
