Fratured Nasal Bone
I have blunt trauma on my face by a steel wrist watch and I undergo NASAL BONE -STL. The result is "There are complete fractures of both nasal bones with slight depression of the distal fractured segments". 1. What will probably be the treatment of my ENT for my fractured nose?? 2. Will it cost me a large amount of money? 3. Will I be just fine or this is fatal? 4. What is the best thing to do about this?

Fractured nasal bones are corrected for two reasons 1. Cosmetic 2. If it is causing nasal obstruction
Ideal to be operated on day of injury or between day 5-7. If the injury is older than 2 weeks it may require a procedure like rhinoplasty. Which is more expensive than closed reduction of fractures
