A fractured nose is the result of trauma and is typically associated with vehicle or sporting injuries. It can result in significant pain at the time; but for many, that pain wanes or disappears altogether with time.
In many cases, individuals who have suffered a fractured nose do not seek medical attention. This can lead to several problems that are worth considering. Here are some of the key benefits of having a fractured nose repaired.
Facial Aesthetics
First and foremost, a fractured nose impacts your appearance, regardless of any other issues. Even if your nose does not give you pain or discomfort, it affects how others perceive you. One of the issues with the aesthetics of a fractured nose is how it can shape personal relationships and work opportunities.
When you have a fractured nose, it can give others a bad impression of your character. Whether right or wrong, this first impression can close doors. Having your fractured nose repaired can go some way toward preventing others from judging you harshly based on a facial aesthetic.
Nasal Functionality
Breathing easily is something that is often impossible with a fractured nose. There is also a high risk of allergies and infections when proper nasal functions are impeded. These problems can be addressed by having a fractured nose repaired by an experienced and highly trained facial plastic surgeon.
Most nasal problems associated with a fractured nose will worsen over time, so it is advisable to seek consultation sooner rather than later. Dr. Benjamin C. Stong of Kalos Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA offers excellence in consultation and treatment options.
