Nasal Fracture Closed Reduction Now Bump On My Bridge and Crooked, What Next?

May 31, 2013
Asked By:Lorena D in Los Angeles, CA

I had a nasal fracture occur and 3 days after the fracture I had a Closed Reduction done by a ENT Dr., now at 3 weeks post procedure I have a hard bump on the right side of my nose and a bump that has formed on my bridge and my nose looks crooked and my profile is awful. I spoke with the ENT Dr. regarding the appearance and he said it would need to heal for at least a month. What procedure can I expect for him to do next? Would Rasping be possible or would he need to break my nose again?
