A member asked:
What should i expect when i have a closed nose reduction surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmmm: I tell patients it wont be any worse than whatever broke your nose. Many surgeons will keep some sort of cast on your nose. Expect to stay away from contact sports for 4-6 weeks. Good luck!
