Nasal fractures can occur for a number of reasons due to collisions, trauma, or other related injuries. In some instances, the bone can not be reset manually and surgery may be necessary to correct the bone and cartilage that was damaged and misdirected. Dr. Michael Suzman, the board-certified plastic surgeon at Summit Group in Westchester County, NY, offers nasal fracture repair surgery to his patients that are seeking restoration for their broken noses. During a consultation, he will asses the damage and best treatment option and then will perform surgery to repair the fractures, realign the bone, and put the surrounding tissues back into place. This procedure can be helpful not only to improve the cosmetic appearance but to also help restore breathing issues. It is best to wait 2 – 3 months after the injury before seeking surgical repair.

Dr. Michael Suzman Reviews
Dr. Suzman did a fantastic job to fix my 17 year old son’s nose after it was broke 5 years earlier. He was very thorough with everything we were to expect and answered any questions we had. The surgery was very successful and Dr. Suzman was very caring before, during and after surgery. The office was easy to work with and very friendly.

What to Expect
With less extensive breaks, the broken bones in the nose can simply be repositioned with special instruments. This would only require local anesthesia and could be an in-office surgery. For more extensive and multiple breaks, nasal bones, cartilage, and surrounding tissues and structures would have to be repositioned. The patient would be put under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility for an outpatient procedure. The nose would be properly stitched and dressed after surgery.
Anticipated Results
Patients can expect pain, discomfort, bruising, and swelling following surgery. Pain medication can be taken to resolve these symptoms. After surgery, there will be a number of follow-up visits to check on the progress of the healing nose. The plastic surgeon will provide clear instructions on how to care for the nose. After a few months, a patient should be able to see a noticeable difference in the nose and should continue to see improvement for up to a year.
