Reduction of Nasal Fracture: Restore Nasal Shape and Function

Reduction of nasal fracture is a procedure to realign broken nasal bones after injury, restoring both the appearance and function of the nose. Nasal fractures are among the most common facial injuries and can cause deformity, swelling, breathing difficulties, and pain.

When Is Nasal Fracture Reduction Needed?

This treatment is recommended when:

• The nose appears crooked or flattened after trauma

• Breathing through the nose becomes difficult

• There is significant swelling, bruising, or pain

• Injury has caused a visible deformity of the bridge

Timely assessment by an ENT surgeon is important—nasal bones are best realigned within 1–2 weeks of injury, before the bones start to heal in the wrong position.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The reduction is typically done under local or general anaesthesia. The surgeon gently repositions the nasal bones into their correct alignment using specialised instruments. In some cases, internal or external splints may be used to support the nose while it heals.

The procedure can be performed as a closed reduction (no incisions) or an open reduction (for complex fractures), depending on the severity of the injury.

Benefits of Nasal Fracture Reduction

• Restores normal nasal shape and symmetry

• Improves breathing by opening nasal passages

• Reduces long-term cosmetic deformities

• Prevents chronic nasal obstruction and sinus problems

Recovery and Aftercare

Swelling and bruising usually improve within 1–2 weeks. Patients should avoid contact sports or nose injuries for at least 6 weeks. Pain relief, cold compresses, and follow-up appointments support smooth healing.
