Your Broken Nose is Nothing to Sniff About

Posted on November 13, 2019 in Rhinoplasty

Broken noses are a common in all manners of accidents involving the face due to the nose protruding farther than other facial features. Sometimes a number of broken noses can even be seen as a measure of toughness. But a broken nose is no small problem. The issues involved are not only about appearance, although that is a legitimate concern. A broken nose can affect breathing, cause snoring or sleep apnea and even result in a complete nasal collapse.

Reconstructive Rhinoplasty Surgery

At times, a broken nose can be reset quickly by an emergency physician if there is no serious underlying damage. However, all too often, the septum will be damaged, which will require more extensive treatment. Also, damage that causes bleeding in the septum can cause a nasal collapse if not treated promptly and effectively.

Many people may have suffered a broken nose in the past that was not treated, and the consequence was healing with some type of deformity. A new or later break could cause further complications, necessitating extensive repairs and treatment. If you have a new nasal fracture, or an old break was never repaired and is causing you problems, reconstructive rhinoplasty surgery may be needed.
