I was recently punched in the nose and now my nose looks crooked? (Photos)

You should see an Ear Nose and Throat, or rhinoplasty surgeon to be assessed. It is important to make sure there is not a hematoma or collection of blood next to the septum. Also if you desire to straighten the nose, you have a narrow window of time available.

In order to know definitively if a fracture is present, you should seek consultation from a plastic surgeon.  Imaging studies as well as clinical evaluation will help to make that determination.  Once that information is obtained, your surgeon can advise you on how to manage the situation.

Sorry to hear about your injury..Without in person exam- X-ray- it's difficult to comment accurately. Best to be seen in person....

allow swelling to subside over 4-6 weeks.  If you still see an asymmetry, consult a plastic surgeon 

You should see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who examines you in person. Ideally, the internal nasal cavities are also examined with nasal endoscopy to assess whether or not you sustained internal nasal injuries. Most Facial Plastic Surgeons perform nasal endoscopies, as do some general Plastic Surgeons. Please see someone sooner than later as a septal hematoma, if present, needs to be drained urgently as it can lead to septal cartilage resorption if unrecognized and untreated, which can ultimately need to a saddle nose deformity. With all that said, you may have the option of a closed reduction (often does not work, though) versus a septorhinoplasty operation. Best wishes!

A  Closed rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish straightening the crooked nose with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. to straighten the crooked nose required osteotomies placed in the nasal bones to resect them straight.  Most instances also require a cartilaginous spreader graft placed underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage in the midportion of the nose.   For many before and after results of crooked nose repair in our practice, please see the link and the video below

It is difficult to say from a photograph alone.  You need a clinical examination (you may have "crunchy" or moving bone) and possibly imaging studies like an xray or cat scan.  In general, a fracture is still mobile within the first 14 days.  You should seek evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon within that time period because he/she may be able to simply push the bone back in place.  If you wait longer than two weeks, the bone may no longer move easily and will require a more surgical procedure with re-fracturing and then moving the bone.Good luck and I am sorry for your injury.

It looks like you might have sustained a nasal fracture. An exam in person and possible films would be required.

If you see a surgeon NOW, they may be able to improve it without surgery. The longer you wait, the more healing/scarring occurs and the more likely a surgical procedure will be necessary.

I agree you nose does look crooked. From the image it appears that the nasal bones and the septum are pushed to the left. If you can be seen within a week, your surgeon can move the structures back to the midline. After that the tissues may be too scarred to move back easily. At that point a procedure under anesthesia is the correct choice. It can be fixed. See a board certified plastic surgeon for an opinion. Good luck.
