# Broken Nose Treatment Sydney

A broken nose (nasal fracture) can affect the position of the nasal bones, the shape of the nose, the nasal septum, and breathing function. Some nasal fractures can be managed without surgery, while displaced fractures may need early assessment for closed reduction (manual realignment of the nasal bones). Where the nose has already healed in a displaced position, or where breathing remains affected, septoplasty, functional rhinoplasty, or post-traumatic rhinoplasty may be considered as a delayed pathway. Timing matters: the appropriate treatment depends substantially on how recently the injury occurred and what symptoms have followed.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (FRACS, 2013) and holds AHPRA registration MED0001654827. He performs broken nose treatment, closed reduction of nasal fractures, and post-traumatic nasal surgery for patients consulting at his Bondi Junction (39 Grosvenor Street) and Manly (Suite 504, Level 5, 39 East Esplanade) clinics. A clinical assessment of the nasal bones, septum, breathing function, and the timing since the injury is required before any treatment decision is made.
