i got attacked from behind unexpected and got hit on the side of the nose. i could see in the mirror about 10mins afterward that the structure(cartilage?) was now crooked/slanted(to one side). i didn't manage to get ice on it (not my fault) so it swelled up bad but mostly on the side that wasnt hit. It was most moved close to the nose tip(although the tip was still in the middle). 2 and a half days later most swelling was gone and it had actually straightened out alot. However it is now straight but from the bridge it is slighly of centre although straight(the cartillage i guess). It can be seen that the side hit is slightly depressed or in compared to the other (non hit) side. How can i get this sorted? Would it need an operation? How bad is it?

i've sought medical attention, a couple days later. the swellings down, looks 'ok' and had an x-ray and theres no bone broken , as in the real stuff ie the bridge and surrounding bone. its just the cartilage slightly off centre

is a nose job the only solution?i know rich franklin the ufc fighter needed surgery although mine wasn't quite as bad as his (but not too far off, very side ways but not flat to my face or anything as i was hit on side only)

No baby-doll, pictures are not necessary, if you have a deformity in your nose chances are good that it is broken... If you do not seek medical attention soon your chances of having a surgery are good...Deformed and depressed very bad(high chances of blood clots not good)
Okay e-mail me a picture I need see this, it's not broken but it's really mess just gotta see it...
