About Insurance for Nasal Bone (Nasal Bridge) Fracture Surgery

Hello, this is Cocoline.

As everyone knows, Cocoline is a hospital that has devoted itself to rhinoplasty alone for more than 10 years.

In addition, when people think of revision nose surgery, we are also one of the first hospitals that come to mind. This is a kind of compliment, meaning that because revision surgery is more difficult in rhinoplasty, the hospital is recognized for outstanding surgical skill.

And because all of Cocoline’s lead medical staff are otolaryngology specialists, we are also a place where both aesthetic procedures and functional care and surgery are possible.

Recently, a patient visited our hospital urgently with a fractured nasal bone (nasal bridge).

They came in after hitting their nose hard against a utility pole they did not see, which caused a minor fracture.

When we asked why they chose Cocoline, they said they came because they were worried about future changes in the shape of their nose while also treating the fractured area.

To explain nasal bone fracture surgery,

First, when a nasal bone (nasal bridge) fracture occurs, surgery is possible only after about 1 to 2 weeks. The reason is that if there is swelling in the area where the fracture occurred, it is difficult to perform an accurate surgery.

In addition, most fracture patients undergo aesthetic surgery together with fracture surgery. Let me explain why.

A nasal fracture is a condition in which the nasal bone breaks due to strong impact, so even after the swelling goes down and surgery is performed, the shape of the nose may still change later.

It is not just an external change; it can also affect functional aspects. That is why we use the term “aesthetic” surgery, but in fact it is a surgery that can correct functional issues as well, so more than 90% of patients often choose to have the procedures done together.

The most concerning point in the case of a nasal bone fracture is that once the swelling subsides and there is no more bleeding, you may hastily think everything will soon be fine.

Of course, if the trauma is minor, it may recover naturally over time,

but if the fracture is left untreated, shape changes or functional problems can occur at a rate of more than 50%, so first of all, I believe it is best to receive an accurate diagnosis and treatment from an otolaryngology specialist.

Also, in cases like this, insurance claims may be possible depending on the diagnosis, so rather than leaving it untreated because of the cost, we strongly recommend receiving medical care and appropriate treatment at the hospital first.

Cocoline is also staffed by otolaryngology specialists, so we kindly help with insurance-related guidance as well.

At Cocoline, we prioritize the patient's well-being and safety in our care and surgery, so we will provide the best service for a healthy outcome.

If you are looking for a hospital because of a nasal bone fracture, we recommend visiting as soon as possible.

Our Cocoline clinic is located near Hyundai Department Store in Apgujeong, and we will attach a detailed map along with the phone number below.

Thank you.
