I was recently punched in the face and although I was not hit in the nose, the mid side of my nose on the cartilage seems a little dented. Will this heal or should I consider getting the dent fixed?

Answer: Cartilage in the nose generally does not heal itself With known trauma to your nose, you may have a cartilage fracture that probably won't improve on its own. It also may be obstructing your breathing. Your best options is to see a facial plastic surgeon who specialized in both functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty to they can diagnose your issue and come up with the right surgical plan. Another option is a non-surgical rhinoplasty, using filler to camouflage the dent. Check out the link below to learn about non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures.

Answer: Dented nose cartilage Change in the shape of the nose after trauma means there was damage to either the nasal bones or cartilage or both. After swelling is gone, if there is still a dent present it is unlikely for it to correct by itself without surgical repair. Correction may require limited repair or a full septoplasty and rhinoplasty depending on the amount of damage.
