Pari Smith is a 28-year-old elementary...
Pari Smith is a 28-year-old elementary school teacher and avid amateur boxer. She sustained a direct blow to the nose during a sparring session two weeks ago. Initially, she thought it was just a bad nosebleed, but persistent nasal obstruction, a visibly crooked nose, and ongoing bruising under her eyes led her to seek help. An ENT specialist, Dr. Chen, confirmed a displaced nasal bone fracture on examination and CT scan. He explained that without repair, her breathing would remain compromised and the deformity would set permanently. Pari was anxious about surgery but also deeply frustrated by her inability to breathe properly during her active lifestyle. The procedure, a closed reduction, was performed under general anesthesia. The immediate post-op period was uncomfortable with nasal packing and swelling, but the packing was removed after 48 hours. After two weeks of careful recovery, avoiding any contact, her nasal airway improved dramatically and the cosmetic deformity was corrected. Emotionally, she moved from anxiety about permanent change and 'damage' to her face to immense relief and regained confidence, feeling like herself again.
