Is Nasal Cartilage Damage Possible Due To Injury?
I small metal door fell on my nose but it hit my safety glasses. I ve broken my nose before and it usually swells , but no swelling this time and not even a mark, I m thinking the brunt of the hit landed on my safety glasses and the glasses have soft plastic nose clips. But can I have damaged the cartilage ? It looks the same by looking at pictures.

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
In case of injury to cartilage you will not be able to breath properly and at the same time there will be excruciating pain in the nose. From the description you mentioned i don't think there is damage to nasal cartilage.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
