“I had complete trust in Dr Roberts who understood my complicated case inside out. After the operation I had almost no pain, no bleeding and just minor bruising. In 10 days my plaster cast was off and I was thrilled! I now had a straight and, more importantly, a natural looking and well-functioning nose.

The result achieved by Dr Roberts has changed the quality of my life and greatly improved my self-confidence. I would also highly commend the professionalism of Dr Roberts and the amazing work of his team.

Broken Nose – symptoms

A broken nose, also known as a nasal fracture, is a common injury that can result from various incidents such as sports injuries, falls, or accidents. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising around the eyes, and difficulty breathing through the nose.

It’s crucial to seek advice as soon as possible after sustaining a broken nose. Early intervention can significantly alleviate symptoms, and non-surgical treatments can improve the nose’s appearance ahead of any potential surgery. In some instances, the nose can be realigned shortly after the injury, potentially eliminating the need for surgery altogether.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

For minor fractures that do not significantly affect the alignment of the nose, non-surgical treatments may be sufficient. These can include:

Pain management: Medications to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
Cold compresses: To minimise swelling and bruising.
Nasal packing: To control bleeding and support the nasal structure.
Follow-up care: Regular check-ups to monitor the healing process and ensure proper alignment.

Surgical Treatment Options for a broken nose

Closed reduction:

Closed reduction is a procedure used to correct a displaced nasal fracture, typically performed within two weeks of the injury when the bones are still mobile and have not yet fully healed . This procedure is crucial for restoring both the appearance and function of the nose.

Rhinoplasty:

For more complex cases or if cosmetic improvements are desired, rhinoplasty can be performed to restore both function and appearance of the nose. Rhinoplasty, often described as a “nose job” is a surgery that has the aim of reshaping the nose, addressing both aesthetic concerns and functional issues resulting from a broken nose.

Septoplasty:

If the septum (the wall between the nostrils) is also affected, this procedure can correct the alignment and improve breathing. Septoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a deviated septum, which is the cartilage and bone structure that separates the two nostrils.

A deviated septum can cause breathing difficulties chronic nasal congestion, contributing to snoring and sleep apnoea. Septoplasty can restore proper nasal function by straightening the septum.
