Nasal Bone Manipulation with MUMS ENT Consultants

Nasal injuries can happen following a fall, sporting injury, assault or other accident.

A nasal fracture can cause:

  • Pain, bruising and swelling
  • A change in the shape or appearance of the nose
  • The nose to appear crooked or displaced to one side
  • A bump or change to the bridge of the nose
  • Nosebleeds
  • Difficulty breathing through the nose

Some injuries can also affect the nasal septum – the structure separating the two sides of the nose – or other areas of the face.

At MUMS, Mr Aakash Amlani and Mr Jack Limbrick, Specialist ENT Consultants, offer assessment and nasal bone manipulation for both adults and children.

What Happens at My Appointment?

Your ENT Consultant will ask how the injury happened and assess:

  • The appearance and alignment of your nose
  • Any swelling or bruising
  • Whether your breathing has been affected
  • The inside of your nose
  • Whether there are any features requiring a different or more urgent treatment pathway

Where necessary, the Consultant may examine inside your nose using a light or a small flexible camera – a procedure known as nasal endoscopy.

A nasal fracture can often be assessed clinically by an experienced ENT Consultant, and an X-ray or scan is not routinely required for an uncomplicated nasal fracture. If your Consultant feels further imaging or assessment is necessary, they will discuss this with you.

Consultation and Treatment in One Visit

MUMS offers a “see and treat” service.

This means that if your Consultant assesses your injury and determines that nasal bone manipulation is appropriate, the procedure can usually be performed during the same appointment.

You therefore do not routinely need to return for a separate treatment appointment.

When Should a Broken Nose Be Manipulated?

Timing is important following a nasal fracture.

The procedure needs to be performed after sufficient swelling has reduced to allow the nose to be assessed properly, but before the fractured nasal bones have healed firmly in their new position.

The appropriate timing can vary depending on the injury and the age of the patient.

We therefore recommend contacting MUMS as soon as possible after the injury so that our team can advise on an appropriate ENT appointment.

Nasal bone manipulation aims to reposition displaced nasal bones so that they heal in a better position. Its main purpose is to improve the alignment and appearance of the nose, although it may also improve nasal breathing in some patients.

What Happens During Nasal Bone Manipulation?

You will be positioned comfortably while your Consultant prepares the area.

Local anaesthetic is used to numb the nose and minimise discomfort. Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the Consultant carefully manipulates the displaced nasal bones towards a more appropriate position.

The procedure itself is generally relatively quick.

Afterwards, you will be given appropriate aftercare advice and may be asked to remain at MUMS for a short period before going home.

Are There Any Risks?

Your ENT Consultant will discuss the procedure, expected benefits, limitations and potential risks with you before treatment.

Some discomfort is expected and a small nosebleed may occur following manipulation, which will usually settle.

Occasionally:

  • The procedure may be too uncomfortable to complete
  • It may not be possible to return the nasal bones completely to their previous position
  • The nose may still appear slightly different following healing
  • Nasal breathing problems may persist
  • Further assessment or treatment may be required

Swelling can take time to settle, so the final appearance of the nose cannot always be judged immediately following the procedure.

If concerns about the appearance or breathing remain after the nose has fully healed and the swelling has resolved, your Consultant can advise whether any further assessment or treatment should be considered.

What If I Choose Not to Have Nasal Bone Manipulation?

Not every nasal fracture requires manipulation.

If the nasal bones have not moved significantly, or you are happy with the appearance of your nose and your breathing is unaffected, treatment may not be necessary.

However, if displaced nasal bones are allowed to heal in their new position, the change in appearance can become permanent and, in some cases, nasal breathing may also remain affected.

Your ENT Consultant will explain your individual findings and help you decide whether manipulation is appropriate.

Preparing for Your Appointment

Please follow any specific instructions provided by MUMS when your appointment is booked.

If possible, it can be helpful to bring:

  • Details of when and how the injury occurred
  • Any medical information or reports relating to the injury
  • Details of your current medication
  • Photographs showing what your nose looked like before the injury, if its appearance has changed significantly

If you take blood-thinning medication, please tell us when booking your appointment. Do not stop prescribed medication unless you have been specifically advised to do so by an appropriate clinician.

You may wish to have a friend or family member accompany you home following treatment.

Will I Feel Any Pain?

Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area, although you may still experience some pressure or discomfort during manipulation.

If you are uncomfortable, please tell your Consultant. They will ensure that your comfort and safety are considered throughout the procedure.

What Happens After the Nose Manipulation?

Following the procedure, you may be asked to remain at MUMS for a short period while our clinical team makes sure you are well enough to leave.

You will be given aftercare instructions, including advice about protecting your nose while it heals and what to do if you experience any problems.

Nasal fracture manipulation can usually be performed reliably from 14 years of age. However, every child is different, and the age provided is only a general guide based on when most children can comfortably manage the procedure. Some younger children may be able to proceed, while some older children may find it difficult. Suitability will be assessed individually by the clinician, and completion of the procedure cannot be guaranteed. If the procedure is started but has to be stopped for any reason, the full procedure fee will remain payable.
