Yes it is possible to have to nasal fracture that doesn't show up on a CT scan if it is very small. You need to have a doctor look at you and see what the best treatment is for you. You either have to see a ENT or Facial Surgeon.
Yes, it's possible to have had a fracture on the nose and not have it show up on a CT scan after 3 months. It's possible that you had a fracture that was non-displaced and now has healed. At this point, I recommend that you see an ENT physician or a Facial Plastic Surgeon. Good luck!
After 3 months, the nasal bones have completely healed, and it may not show up. In addition, trauma to the nose can cause a displaced nasal fracture, or a non--displaced nasal fracture. Trauma to the nose can also cause the upper lateral cartilages to become fractured off of the nasal bones, and a deviated septum can result from trauma as well.
Yes, it is possible to have a fracture that won't show up on a CT scan. Nasal fractures can be subtle- too small to detect on a CT scanner- or they may have only affected the cartilage of your nose which a CT scan wouldn't show either. If you haven't seen an ENT or facial plastic surgeon for an opinion, it's time to go. Good luck!
Thanks for your question. In almost all cases, a broken nose will be identified on a CT scan. If the scan shows there is no fracture, then it is unlikely that you broke your nose. That being said, your nasal pain is real. Persistent nasal pain after trauma can be caused by things other then a broken nose. If you have nerve impingement or a septal cartilage injury, these will not necissarily show up on CT scan. There are other causes of chronic pain as well that may be identified on physical examination.You should seek a skilled surgeon with a dual training in facial plastics and ENT to do an internal and external nasal evaluation. Best of luck in finding relief to your nasal pain.

Your nose does appear to be deviated in the photographs. There are surgical ways to correct this sort of deformity but the photographs were taken early in your post-operative course. Things may change as your swelling subsides over the next couple of months. If the "crooked" appearance of your ...
Hello! The balance of the nose with the face is based on proportions and facial features. While it appears that your nose may be a little wide through the tip and perhaps over-projected (a bit tall for your features) it also appears that you have a weak chin, which will make your nose look...
NO!!I just had to respond. I appreciate your adventurous spirit and "can do" attitude. But it is a risky proposition. I have done rhinoplasty for 25 years and a SCUBA instructor for 40 years. So I am uniquely qualified to chime in. The last thing you want is any bumping of the bones...
Hello, and thanks for the question. One of the toughest things about nasal surgery is the complete blockage the patient experiences due to the packing. In fact, most complaints in the early post-op period relate to the packing, and not necessarily to pain.However, one thing that you should stop...
