Question: If the nasal bones are fractured during a nose job, does the recovery and healing take longer?
Answer: The more that is done to a nose during a nose job the longer it takes for the nose to heal and the more the variability in healing. With that said, often times, if you require osteotomies (breaking of the bones) then you need it and if you avoid it simply out of fear or out of a desire to heal quicker, you may end up with a nose that just does not look balanced.
