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.

PATIENT REVIEW

I was so frightened when we...

I was so frightened when we first met him. My husband is the patient, and Dr. Muzammil has such a calm way about him. He speaks softly, makes sure you understand, and never makes you feel silly for asking the same question twice. There was one visit where the parking was completely full and we were flustered, but the moment we stepped into his clinic, his gentle manner just put us at ease. He treats the person, not just the illness.
