Just as the nose plays an important role in the beauty of the face as an important organ, damage to it also has a negative effect on the face. Because the nose is the largest bone tissue in the face, it is at high risk for various blows. In fact, any blow that causes a crack, deviation, or fracture will definitely affect the appearance of the nose, and in severe cases, there will be an urgent need for surgery. The most common strokes that cause a deformity of the nose are those that may occur as a result of an accident, falling from a height (usually seen in many children), quarrels, and all kinds of martial arts.
Early signs of a broken nose include:
• Swelling and bruising of the nose and under the eyes
• Sensitivity due to contact with the nose
• Bleeding from the nose and respiratory problems
• Curvature and deformity of the nose
At first, it is best to swell and cool the eyes with a little ice to stop the bleeding in the nose that has broken.
This will also help reduce local inflammation. If there is a lot of pain, the painkiller should be used with caution and with a doctor’s advice, because some painkillers, such as ibuprofen, have anticoagulant properties and may aggravate you’re bleeding. Therefore, it is better to go to the hospital if you have severe pain and heavy bleeding. Even if they use harmless painkillers, they are not allowed to be taken for more than three days without a doctor’s prescription, and if the pain persists if the medication is stopped, you must contact your doctor. Your nose may have a severe fracture and need surgery.
Usually, when the nose is not crooked and the fracture is not large, the doctor will start treatment with anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory drugs. Bruising and swelling usually go away after a few days. In cases where your nose is broken, surgery may still not be needed, and your doctor may place a bone and dressing in the office to get it back to normal. Of course, this procedure is accompanied by anesthesia and is done after the first swelling and bruising disappears. Note that if you delay your treatment for more than 7 to 10 days, your nasal bone will swell with the same shape and form that was damaged and possibly tilted and it will not be possible to treat its appearance without Rhinoplasty. So two to three days after the first injury and the reduction of pain and inflammation, be sure to see a doctor.
Broken bone correction:
Here, because we are dealing with several types and degrees of fractures, the doctor must first check and make the necessary examinations and then decide on the type of treatment for you. Two-thirds of the nasal tissue is cartilage and one-third is bone. The bone in the upper part of the nose and the cartilage that covers most of the nose is in the lower and middle part of the nose. As a result of trauma to the bone or cartilage, they are separated, which suggests the term placement to treat this condition. In these cases, the doctor in the office and with special tools will push the broken bone back to its original place and in other cases where the severity of the injury and fracture is more, it is necessary for you to have completed Rhinoplasty under anesthesia.
In this case, you may even need to have a deviation and rhinoplasty at the same time. Because the bone, which is incompletely and crookedly, has caused you to have a deviated nose, and separate surgery is needed to resolve this issue. In fact, many fractures, because they seemingly healed with home remedies, and after one to two months of people experiencing new problems such as sleep problems and seeing a doctor, they realize that they have a severe fracture. Due to the late visit to the doctor, the bone is similarly welded and requires rhino surgery or a combination of both (septorhinoplasty) for treatment.
Place a broken nasal bone technic:
Closed placement: In this procedure, which is usually performed between seven and 10 days after the injury to the nose, the doctor can move the broken part back to its original place without the need to open the nose and only with local anesthesia. He does it himself.
Open placement: If you have lost time and your nose has taken on a new shape, it is necessary to repair your nasal bone in this way. In this procedure, the doctor makes incisions in the nose to use the broken tissue and restore the broken bones.

Postoperative care for nasal fractures:
Depending on the type of fracture, you may experience local anesthesia or general anesthesia. In both cases, you will not need to be hospitalized because the surgery is an outpatient and short operation, and you will return to your hotel the same day. Note that until the effects of general anesthesia are completely gone, it is best to have a companion with you and not worry if you do not have a companion.

First aid in the early hours of a runny nose:

• If you notice that you’re the nose is crooked, do not touch it at all and do not try to return it to its previous position, which will cause more severe damage to the nose. See you a doctor or an otolaryngologist as soon as possible.
• Prevent bleeding and be careful that blood does not block your airway. You can use a sterile gauze pad to absorb the blood and gently insert it into your nostrils.
• Use ice to help relieve pain and inflammation. But don’t put it directly on the skin. This causes the inflamed skin to freeze. It is best to wrap the ice in a cloth and place it on the nose and under the eyes and bruises every 15 minutes. In the early hours after injury, place ice on your nose for 20 seconds every two hours.
• Keep your head and keep this in mind, especially when sleeping. In cases where the injury site is related to your breathing, it is best to keep your head higher than the rest of your body during sleep to breathe better.
• Use medications that do not affect blood clotting to reduce pain, according to your doctor.
• Use disinfectant solutions for washing inside the nose. Hot water and steam also are great.
• Never touch your nose hard. Its internal tissue is damaged and no pressure will be useful for a few days.
