I broke my nose tonight playing soccer, not too badly I hope. I’ll be scheduling an appointment in the morning with someone in my PPO, but I have no idea what kind of doctor I should see. Ear nose and throat? Plastic surgeon? Any help appreciated.
When I broke mine (pretty badly - four rips in the cartilege. Playing tennis. Don’t ask.), it was a plastic surgeon that put it back together.
ENT for functional assessment with probable referral to a Plastic Surgeon for structural work. Depending on your coverage, you might need your primary GP to refer you to the ENT.
Thanks for your help!
Your family doc or internist should be able to determine if you need any intervention at all; it’s often helpful to start with them.
Otolaryngologist?
