Immediately following an injury to your nose there is often swelling, and it can be difficult to assess if it is twisted on one side. The Doctor/Emergency Nurse Practitioner treating you in the Emergency Department/ Minor Injury Unit will check for any immediate complications as a result of the injury.
At 4 – 5 days following injury please check the position of your nose. Most of the swelling should have resolved by this time.
If at this time your nose appears twisted to one side and you would like us to try to manipulate it under local anaesthetic to its previous position, we will see you in clinic. Children may require a general anaesthetic.
Please note we will only be able to correct the deviation that is a result of the most recent injury:
