How long does it take for a broken nose to heal?

Several months +: Although initial healing and resolution of most of the swelling and bruising takes place in the first 2 weeks it can take several months (6 weeks +) for the nasal bones to heal. So it is important to avoid a significant bump to the nose during this time so that the healing nasal bones are not moved apart again...

6 weeks: Any fracture takes 6 weeks for the bones to heal, but it may take months for all swelling to resolve.

3-6 weeks: 3-6 weeks for the broken bones to unite. If the nose is not aligned, you should see an ENT doc to fix it.

3weeks: It usually takes about 3 weeks to be stable, 6-8 weeks for boney union and up to 2 years for bone remodeling. Avoid contact sports for 3 months. Low impact activitues can commence at 3 weeks.
