How to prepare
- Consultation with an ENT specialist for a physical exam and possibly a nasal endoscopy or CT scan.
- Disclosure of all medications, especially blood thinners like aspirin or warfarin, which may need to be paused.
- Arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure, especially if sedation is used.
- Avoiding food and drink for several hours before the procedure if general anesthesia is planned.

- Avoid blowing your nose, strenuous activity, and wearing glasses that rest on the nose for several weeks.
- Use saline nasal sprays to keep the nasal passages moist and clean.

Aadya Gupta, a 28-year-old software engineer...
Aadya Gupta, a 28-year-old software engineer and avid badminton player, suffered a broken nose when she was accidentally struck in the face by her partner's racquet during a competitive match. She experienced immediate, severe pain, a loud cracking sound, significant swelling, and a visibly crooked nose. Bleeding was profuse but stopped after 15 minutes of firm pressure. Over the next 48 hours, severe bruising developed around both eyes ('raccoon eyes'), and she found it difficult to breathe through her right nostril. An ENT specialist, Dr. Sharma, confirmed a displaced nasal fracture via physical exam and gentle palpation. He recommended a closed reduction procedure to realign the bones, explaining it needed to be done within 7-10 days before the bones began to set incorrectly. The procedure was performed in the clinic under local anesthesia. Aadya felt intense pressure and discomfort as the bones were manipulated back into place, but the process was quick. She was fitted with an external splint and given pain medication and antibiotics. Recovery involved managing swelling with ice, keeping her head elevated, and avoiding any contact or pressure on her nose for 6 weeks. After the splint was removed, her nose was straight, and her breathing returned to normal. Emotionally, Aadya was initially shocked and anxious about permanent disfigurement, fearing it would impact her confidence at work and in social settings. After the successful procedure and seeing her normal appearance restored, she felt immense relief and gratitude, though she remains more cautious on the court.
