Types of Nose Injuries

• Bloody nose without a fracture
• Swelling and bruising of the nose without a fracture
• Blood clot of the central wall of the nose with risk of cartilage damage and deformed nose
• Fracture of the nose. Severe fractures of the nose (e.g., crooked nose) are usually reset the same day in the operating room. Most surgeons don't repair mild fractures until 5 to 7 days after the injury.
