What happens if my nose is dislocated?
Healthcare providers realign dislocated noses by lifting and pressing on your nose to move your dislocated bones back into place. This is called a closed reduction. Closed reductions are successful 60 % to 90 % of the time. Once your nose in back in place, providers might use an external splint to stabilize your nose while it heals.
