Nose was broken in the late 90s. Can it be reset by a ENT doctor now?
Answer: Nose can be reset years after injury Yes, a nose reset years after an injury and can be done through rhinoplasty, specifically an open reduction of the nasal fracture. If it has caused breathing issues with the nose, surgery may be covered under the patient’s medical insurance if determined a medical necessity. A qualified ENT/ facial plastic surgeon that has performed many of these would be your best option. For many examples of crooked nose repair from our practice, please see the link and video below

CONTACT NOW Answer: Yes, we do it in rhinoplasty all th time! Good question. It's easiest to fix a nose that has been broken within 2 weeks of the injury, as the bones have not healed and they can easily be moved back into their original position before they heal. If they have healed, they can also be moved, we just have to perform osteotomies (breaking of the bones) before we can move them to the position desired. We normally perform that in rhinoplasty all the time.

Answer: Resetting a Broken Nose So when you break your nose you have a small window of about 10 days to do a closed reduction which basically means gently shift the bones back into position. If you miss that window then you need to wait till they heal and then the bones need to be refractured and repositioned. This is what you need and it can be done at anytime after a fracture once the bones are healed.

Answer: Resetting a Broken Nose If your nose was broken about 20 years ago the bones have already healed in their current position. The bones can be re-set, but they must be re-fractured with a procedure called an osteotomy. This will help to straighten the nasal bones. This is often done as part of a Rhinoplasty surgery. Visit with a rhinoplasty surgery specialist in order to see if you are a good candidate for this.

Answer: Old broken nose When the nasal bones initially break from injury, there is about a 2 week window where they are easily mobile and can be pushed back into position without any incisions. After this period, the bones are re-fused and repair requires "re-breaking" them. This process is accomplished with osteotomies and entails rhinoplasty surgery. If you are unhappy with the altered shape of you nose from an old injury, it is probably best to consult with a rhinoplasty specialist.
