Nearly six weeks ago I was punched in the side of the nose and the ENT said I had cartilage damage. The affected side / nostril still appears swollen - how long before this subsides?

Answer: Swelling post trauma 6 weeks should be enough time to see if a permanent deformity has resulted from trauma. If you still distinctly see a difference in your nose, you may require a procedure to correct this deformity. Best wishes!

Answer: Nasal swelling after trauma Most swelling of the nose will be minimal a couple of weeks later. If you still have a deformity you should see a facial plastic surgeon for an evaluation. You may have done more permanent damage to your nose. You may also be noticing something that existed before but now you have noticed because of being hit and watching the area.
