I fractured my nose after a bicycle fall and it's been 40 days but I still feel a bony callus from the trauma on the side of my nose, and that seems to be causing the the extra curved look. Will this callus go down or will a little shaving be necessary? My nose will probably never be the same without a procedure but how much longer do I wait to consider my options? I've read reports about up to 6 months!

Answer: Rhinoplasty I doubt the bump will go away on its own and that you need a rhinoplasty to correct it. Also I don’t think the bump can just be filed down. Your bridge needs to be lowered a bit to eliminate the bump which means a full rhinoplasty. Six months is about right although some surgeons might do it as early as three.

Answer: Bony callous on the side of the nose after trauma. How long to wait before considering my options Probably best to wait at least three months to allow the callous to subside. If it is Still there after three months, then consider a rhinoplasty procedure to remove it and straighten nasal bones. Also important to evaluate the internal portion of the most make sure there's not a deviated septum
