Can Rhinoplasty Fix My Fractured Nose? Expert Insights by Dr. Hatem Dalati in Dubai
A fractured nose, also known as a nasal bone fracture, is one of the most common facial injuries that can affect both appearance and breathing. It often occurs due to accidents, falls, or sports trauma. While minor fractures may heal naturally, more severe cases require rhinoplasty to restore both structure and function.
In this article, Dr. Hatem Dalati, ENT Consultant and Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Dubai, explains how rhinoplasty can effectively correct a broken nose and help you breathe better while regaining confidence in your appearance.
🔹 What Happens When the Nose Is Fractured?
A nasal fracture occurs when the bones or cartilage of the nose are broken — usually due to trauma such as a fall, sports injury, or accident. Symptoms may include:
- Nose bleeding and swelling
- Bruising around the eyes
- Crooked or flattened appearance
- Nasal obstruction or difficulty breathing
If a nasal fracture is left untreated, it can heal improperly, resulting in a post-traumatic nasal deformity and long-term breathing issues.
👃 Is a Nasal Fracture Also a Nasal Deformity?
A nasal fracture and a nasal deformity are closely related — but not the same.
A nasal fracture refers to a break in the nasal bones or cartilage, while a nasal deformity describes a visible change or irregularity in the nose’s shape or structure.
When a nasal fracture heals in a misaligned position, it leads to a post-traumatic nasal deformity. This may include:
- A crooked nasal bridge
- Flattening or collapse of nasal structure
- Dorsal hump formation
- Breathing difficulties due to internal deviation
In such cases, rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty in Dubai is often needed to correct both function and appearance.
With his dual expertise, Dr. Hatem Dalati ensures your nose is restored to its natural look and optimal breathing function.
🔹 How Rhinoplasty Corrects a Fractured Nose
Depending on the severity of the injury, treatment options may include:
- Closed Reduction: Performed shortly after the injury to realign nasal bones without surgery.
- Reconstructive Rhinoplasty: For older or complex fractures that require reshaping the nasal bones and cartilage.
- Functional Rhinoplasty in Dubai: To correct internal blockages and restore normal breathing.
- Septorhinoplasty Dubai: Addresses both the deviated septum and external nasal deformity.
During a rhinoplasty for fractured nose, Dr. Hatem Dalati carefully restores symmetry, straightens the nasal bridge, and ensures the nasal airway functions properly — balancing aesthetic and functional results.
