The experts in sinus relief in Los Angeles of Westside Sinus can help you with anything nose related, including serious external damage to the nose. When your nose endures serious physical trauma, the bone or cartilage may break.
While you’d assume that breaking your nose is extremely painful and bloody, some of our patients don’t even realize that it’s happened. Some people will have a broken nose for years before they even realize that something’s off.
If you experience any of the following signs and symptoms, then your nose may be broken:
- Pain or tenderness, especially when touching your nose
- Swelling of your nose and surrounding areas
- Bleeding from your nose
- Bruising around your nose or eyes
- Crooked or misshapen nose
- Difficulty breathing through your nose
- Discharge of mucus from your nose
- Feeling that one or both of your nasal passages are blocked
It’s possible that your broken nose does not bother you, but in most cases, people seek out broken nose repair in Los Angeles. Repairing a broken nose can be due to cosmetic or functional reasons, as a broken nose often makes it hard to breathe.
Repairing a nose is often done through a rhinoplasty procedure or a septoplasty procedure. Our doctors are skilled in both. They can repair your broken nose to leave minimal scarring and minimal recovery time.
Even better, our broken nose specialists can offer same-day broken nose repair. Our same-day broken nose repair services are different from septoplasty and rhinoplasty in that we will reset your nose in a matter of seconds using local anesthesia.
Septoplasty and rhinoplasty are more precise and deliberate procedures. The nasal surgeon will adjust your septum and tip in these procedures to make your nose appear more significant. While your broken nose repair will make sure that your cartilage and bone are back in place, you may suffer lingering effects.
Many people who break their noses later decide to get a second procedure. Our doctors perform nasal corrective surgeries that have little to no scarring and short recovery time. While breaking your nose may have hurt, patients often report that our nasal procedures don’t even hurt.
Contact Westside Sinus if you have suffered nasal trauma. We can work you into our schedule for a same-day broken nose repair.
