I supposedly broke my nose over a month ago but it didn't bleed or really hurt that much, the only way I could tell was it looked crooked. Well I went to the hospital after 3 weeks and they said to wait a few months then come back as it had started healing. My nose now is much bigger/bulbous than before the break even still after about 5 weeks, is this just swelling or is it going to be permanently bigger from the break?
