See plastic surgeon: Not all nasal fractures will need anything done. Those that cause disfigurement often are repaired by plastic surgeon or ENT specialist. Usually not done early, but a week to ten days after injury, when swelling subsides. Timing best determined by surgeon.

Broken nose: Apply ice packs to your nose to reduce the swelling. In a few days , after the swelling subsides, see an ENT to see if you need surgery.
