Nasal bone repositioning is a surgical procedure to correct fractures or breaks in the nasal bones, restoring proper alignment and nasal shape.
When is it needed?
• Physical trauma or injury
• Sports injuries
• Car accidents or sudden impacts
• Nasal deformity, pain, or difficulty breathing
Procedure:
• Usually performed under local or general anesthesia
• Fractured bone segments are carefully realigned (repositioned)
• Fixation techniques may be applied if necessary to stabilize bone fragments
• Intervention can be through internal (endonasal) or external incisions
• Procedure is usually short and often completed within the same day
Benefits:
• Restores nasal shape and symmetry
• Opens nasal airways, improving breathing
• Corrects aesthetic and functional issues
• Minimally invasive with a short recovery period
FAQs:
1. Is the procedure painful?
• No pain during surgery; minimal discomfort may occur during recovery.
2. How long is full recovery?
• Usually 1–2 weeks for major swelling and pain to subside.
3. Will breathing improve?
