Lump on Side of Nose After Break and Cut?

October 1, 2012
Asked By:ajos

I slipped in the shower 3 wks ago and cracked the my nose. I cut my nose on the right side and it bled a lot, though stitches were not needed. I also broke my nose on the right side, but the plastic surgeons said t was not noticeably crooked so I ought not have it reset. This week a hard lump seems to be developing where I both cut and broke my nose. Could this be bone developing or just skin healing? It feels like it is skin not bone, as it seems to move around a bit. Will it go away?

Does a Doctor Put a Person to Sleep to Fix a Broken Nose Bridge?
Steven J. Pearlman, MD, FACS says:

In order to "numb" a broken nose, it only takes a few shots, but those are inside the nose. I even use sedation by an anesthesiologist for most adults. Having broken my nose and getting it fixed during Medical School, the needles do hurt. So, if your insurance covers it, go for it.
