Nasal Fracture Repair
The nose is the most prominent feature on the face, which makes it especially vulnerable to injury. A broken nose can bring both functional problems — like difficulty breathing — and aesthetic ones, such as a crooked or misshapen appearance, and the right repair addresses both. Dr. Erez Dayan performs nasal fracture repair at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.
Repairing a broken nose well means restoring the airway and the appearance together — and Dr. Erez Dayan brings rare depth to both. He and his team perform many primary and revision rhinoplasties each year, a great number of them for airway improvement or reconstruction after trauma, and he has completed extensive research on consistency in rhinoplasty outcomes. A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute, he trained in the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program — serving as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital — before being chosen for the elite aesthetic fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, where he was one of only two surgeons selected. Nasal fracture repair is one of his nose plastic surgery procedures.
What Causes a Broken Nose?
A broken nose can result from many kinds of trauma — auto accidents, sports injuries, altercations, or a simple fall. Because the nose is made up of delicate bone at the bridge along with cartilage and soft tissue, it’s more easily damaged than many other facial structures. The level and type of trauma determine how much repair is needed, which is why a careful evaluation always comes first.
“A broken nose is rarely just cosmetic — the same injury that shifts the appearance often affects breathing. My goal is to repair both in one procedure, so the nose looks like it did before and works the way it should.” — Dr. Erez Dayan
Broken Nose Repair in Reno/Tahoe
Dr. Dayan performs a close examination of your nose and surrounding facial features — possibly including X-rays or other imaging — to get a full picture of the damage. He then recommends the necessary repair techniques, explaining each step and answering your questions. His primary goals are to complete both the aesthetic and the functional repairs, ensuring a natural-looking nose that breathes well, and he can typically address both concerns in the same procedure at his Reno/Tahoe office.
Frequently Asked Questions About Nasal Fracture Repair
How do I know if my nose is broken?
Signs of a nasal fracture can include visible crookedness or swelling, difficulty breathing, pain, and bruising around the nose and eyes. A medical evaluation, sometimes with imaging, confirms the fracture and its extent.
Does nasal fracture repair fix both breathing and appearance?
Yes. Dr. Dayan’s primary goals are both functional and aesthetic — restoring a natural-looking nose that breathes well — and he can usually address both in the same procedure.
How soon should a broken nose be treated?
Prompt evaluation is important, as some fractures are best addressed within a certain window before they begin to heal in a misaligned position. Dr. Dayan will advise on the right timing for your injury.
Will I need imaging?
Possibly. Dr. Dayan may use X-rays or other imaging along with a physical examination to fully assess the fracture and surrounding structures before recommending a repair.
Can a previously broken nose still be repaired?
Yes. Even after a nose has healed crookedly, Dr. Dayan can correct both the appearance and any breathing issues, often as part of a rhinoplasty or revision procedure.
What is recovery like?
Recovery depends on the extent of the repair. Dr. Dayan provides pain management and detailed aftercare instructions, with follow-up visits to confirm proper healing of both the structure and the airway.
