How long will it take for a broken nose to heal?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Nasal fracture: The complete healing process for a broken bone can take up to six months. However, the early healing process usually gets the bone healed to 85-90% of its original strength within a few weeks. Your question sounds more like you are interested in knowing when your nose will actually feel better. This is usually about 7-10 days, but it depends on how badly the nose is broken. It can take more.

Depends: Depends on what you mean by "to heal". You'll feel close to normal in 7-10 days. Swelling resolved in 1-2 weeks. Bones solid again in 4-6 weeks.

About 6 weeks: A broken nose is a common injury and of course its severity and treatment can vary, but the average healing time is approximately 6 weeks.
