Post-traumatic rhinoplasty: the operation for a broken nose

Post-traumatic rhinoplasty includes all surgical procedures that aim to restore respiratory function and aesthetics of the nose after a trauma:

• Tout d’abord la réparation de plaies des tissus mous ( peau et muscle) ou de perte de substance.
• Ensuite la réduction d’une fracture des os du nez et correction d’une déviation de l’axe du nez.
• Puis des greffes de cartilages pour réparer la charpente du nez.
• Enfin des greffes pour restaurer la muqueuse interne du nez.

What are the objectives of post-traumatic rhinoplasty?

• Treatment of a traumatic deviation of the nasal septum
• Treatment of a skin wound
• Treatment of nasal cartilage wounds
• Improvement of the respiratory function

Who is it for?

Post-traumatic rhinoplasty is for patients who have suffered a trauma to the nose.

Every nose is different, therefore every nasal injury is also unique. 

• Broken nose: involves a break in the bones and cartilage of the nose. Patients who suffer a broken nose often experience immediate pain, swelling and severe bruising around the nasal area. Untreated broken noses tend to heal crooked or with a bump.
• Blocked airway: Nasal damage that affects the inside of the nose can affect respiratory function, sinus problems and some forms of sleep apnea that can affect sleep patterns and overall health.
• Compound damage: Many athletes or victims of repeated trauma may suffer multiple nasal fractures that can build up over time and damage the deep structure of the nose.
• Blood clots: When the nose experiences trauma, there is a risk of blood clots forming. If left untreated, the clot can deteriorate the cartilage and cause a collapse. This deformity is commonly referred to as nasal saddle.
