What Is a Nasal Fracture?

Nasal fractures or broken noses are an important concern for most patients. And, rightly so. When the bone or cartilage in the nose is cracked, broken, or displaced due to trauma, the nose can become crooked or bent. This can alter your facial profile and result in an unharmonious appearance. Nasal fractures can also cause breathing difficulties and nasal obstruction that affect the functionality of your nose. If your nasal bump makes you feel self-conscious and shy about your appearance. Don’t panic. Nasal fracture repair surgery, performed by double-board-certified Dr. Bader offers a premium solution that restores your nasal integrity, functionality, and aesthetic appearance.

Types of Nasal Fractures

Many nasal fractures are caused by accidents or trauma to the nose. Nasal bridge fractures can result in a crooked appearance. Meanwhile, septal fractures can result in a deviated septum which can cause issues such as trouble breathing. Cartilage damage can cause malformation in the shape and structure of the nose. Dr. Bader can assess the extent of your injury and decide on the correct treatment plan based on the kind of nasal fracture you experience.

Open Reduction Nasal Fracture

This type of fracture refers to when the nasal framework is broken and there is a break in the skin. This can cause further complications to arise such as infection and severe scarring.

Closed Nasal Bone Fracture

The closed reduction of nasal bone fracture results in a broken nasal bone, meanwhile, the skin remains intact. While this may appear less severe, it can still cause important aesthetic and functional issues.

Simple Nasal Fracture

This term describes a clean break in the nasal bone without affecting any of the surrounding nasal structures. This kind of fracture can often be treated with a closed rhinoplasty surgery.

Complex Nasal Fracture

This kind of fracture requires a more extensive treatment as multiple breaks to the nasal bones and surrounding cartilage need to be treated. Dr. Bader often opts for open rhinoplasty surgery to treat this kind of fracture.

Nasal Fracture Symptoms

If you have suffered a nasal fracture, you may experience a range of symptoms that develop over time

Initial Nasal Fracture Symptoms Include

Nose Bleeds
Pain and swelling around the nasal area
Trouble breathing
Black eyes

Overtime, Additional Symptoms Include

Deviated (crooked) septum
Advanced breathing difficulties
Deformed nasal appearance

So pleased with my revision. I spent 2 years observing the results and researching doctors across the US and Europe, and chose him. My advice: Choose a doctor that always shows each angle of his finished noses. Don't choose doctors that show anything less! Pay attention to lighting in the photos too. Choose a doctor who specializes in noses. They are intricate and important not only to your aesthetics but also your breathing. Don't compromise your beauty or your breathing with a good doctor. Save / wait for a great doctor. Dr. Bader and his staff exceeded every expectation. My surgery and aftercare were professional and seamless. I would recommend him to anyone who is having a primary or revision. It was the best decision I've ever made.

Went yesterday for a revision rhinoplasty consultation. Excellent experience! The staff was all very friendly & helpful. Amanda has been a joy to work with during the entire process. I researched several doctors over the past maybe 6-8 months before scheduling my consultation with Dr. Bader. Very excited to have a revision done in the future by him!

Dr. Bader changed my life!! For the better! I was so insecure and sad with my previous results with a Dr in Mexico(crooked, upturned, ect). I honestly didn't think anyone could make it better until i found him. At consultation he explained how he could improve it and was very honest about it, and his staff was very friendly and they made you feel comfortable. I always feel like Drs rush and dont hear you out completely, but it was different here. I made sure to explain all my questions and concerns so many times and they heard me out, explained the whole process and made me feel like i was in the best hands! My results are exactly what i wanted!

Nasal Fracture Treatment Options in Plano, Texas

Dr. Bader’s extensive expertise in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery makes him one of the best nasal fracture specialists in Plano. If you have suffered a nasal fracture, it is recommended to seek medical advice within the first 1-2 weeks to prevent complications and minimize recovery time. At Bader Facial Plastics, we treat all kinds of nasal fractures. Common treatment options include:

Rhinoplasty for Nasal Fractures

If your nasal bones have set in the injured position, Dr. Bader will opt for an open or closed traditional rhinoplasty procedure based on the complexity of the fracture. This reconstructive surgery can restore your nose to its original pre-fracture state, smoothing the nasal bridge to blend harmoniously with your facial features.

Septoplasty Nasal Fracture Surgery

Fix a crooked or deviated septum and uneven nostrils with Septoplasty surgery. Dr. Bader’s expert technique in treating nasal septal fractures not only refined the contours of your nose but also can be used to treat bothersome breathing issues.

Potential Risks of Nasal Fracture Surgery

Like all surgical interventions, treatments for a broken nose come with their own set of risks. This is why it is important to choose a nasal fracture specialist in Plano with a results-driven approach. While Dr. Bader aims to achieve long-lasting results that enhance your natural beauty, possible risks include:

Bleeding
Infection
Delayed wound healing
Suboptimal results

Recovery From A Nasal Fracture Treatment

Recovering from your broken nose surgery takes time. Depending on the severity of the fracture and Dr. Bader’s chosen surgical approach, patients can expect 1-2 weeks of initial downtime. During this time pain will be managed with medications, swelling and bruising will subside, and follow-up appointments with Dr. Bader will ensure that your nose is healing correctly. Out-of-town patients will be required to stay in Plano, close to the plastic surgery practice to avoid the risk of complications. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activity during this time, especially if you have external splints or a nasal cast.
