I broke my nose the 21st of October and had it reset the 30th of October. I don’t like how it looks. My nose looks bigger than before I broke it, and there’s a hump. When will swelling from the resetting of the bones completely go away. And can additional surgery give me my old nose back? The first four photos are after breaking my nose and getting closed fracture reduction. The last one without the eyes covered is before breaking my nose.

Answer: When does swelling go away after closed nasal reduction fracture? In general, swelling from a closed reduction of a nasal fracture may persist for a month or so, but not nearly as long as after an open reduction of your nasal fracture. Closed reductions are successful in around 85% of people, and 15% desire further surgery for a straighter appearance. You may not have had a good reduction since it was performed 9 days after your injury - 5 to 7 days is easier to reduce the fracture. Consider consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what might be best for you. Dr Joseph

Answer: When does swelling go away after closed nasal reduction fracture? And can I get my old nose back after breaking it? Hello and thank you for your question. Swelling secondary to fracture/closed reduction can last for several weeks to months. If complete closed reduction has been done, you should be able to get your old nose back. You should closely follow up with your surgeon to guide you through the process. Best,Best,
