I have a dark shadow on my nose almost 3 weeks after a closed reduction for a broken nose that is not going away (Photo)

Thanks for submitting your photos. The best for you will be a nose job and if you want we can do at the same session a dermal graft for the skin because of darkness. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Regards and good luck

After a closed reduction of a nasal fracture, it will take time for the nose to heal.  Swelling can be present in the nose for a few months.  I would await to judge your nose until that time.  If you still have concerns at that time, you could consider looking into repair the issues with a rhinoplasty.  I hope this helps.

It is common to have edema and discoloration after a nasal fracture, particularly since this is your third nasal fracture.  It can take a few months for the swelling and discoloration to resolve.  Give your nose time to heal and if after that time period you are still having issues you could consider getting a consultation and further surgical intervention.  Take care,Timothy A.
