About Nasal Fracture Surgery

Nasal fracture surgery, also known as closed reduction or septorhinoplasty, is a specialized procedure performed by an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeon to correct a broken nose. The primary goal is to restore the nose's natural shape, ensure proper breathing function, and prevent long-term complications like a deviated septum. The surgeon typically realigns the displaced nasal bones and cartilage, often under local or general anesthesia. This procedure not only addresses cosmetic concerns but is crucial for maintaining optimal nasal airflow and preventing chronic issues such as sinusitis or nasal obstruction. Timely intervention, usually within two weeks of the injury, leads to the best functional and aesthetic outcomes.
