Rhinoplasty After a Broken Nose?

The key thing for you right now is to see a rhinoplasty expert to make sure that your bones and septum are not displaced.  If they are you will need a reduction. I would not do a rhinoplasty at this time and would put it off for at least 6 months.

Have a plastic surgeon look at it now, but expect that nothing will be done for 6 months or more.  Nasal fractures should not be "fixed" until most of the healing is done.  I like to wait six months at least and longer if I can.  And I find that the nose needs a significant amount grafting if it is deviated.  This is not a normal aesthetic rhinoplasty!

 Dear Detroit7749  Sorry to hear about your nasal fractures.  I would seek a consult with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon to discuss your options. 


You may be a candidate for moving the bones back into place

But, making cosmetic adjustments to the nose after a trauma


isn't a good idea.  



A fractured nose can have many components that are affected:



fractured bones,

traumatized skin

traumatized lining of your nose

injured cartilage.


Waiting for three - six months to see how you have healed before proceeding with additional surgery will give you the best chance for a great result.

Best Wishes
