Can my Healed Broken Crooked Nose Only be Straightened via Surgery?

Lynne31
Hi. About 6 months ago I believe I broke my nose. There was a crack and a little swelling. It was only made a little crooked though, and since I'm young and uninsured I didn't go to the doctor. About a month ago I fell and my nose became more crooked. On the left side it's risen and has a bump, giving the appearance that my nose isnt straight. My breathing isnt affected,but I don't want to live with the way my nose now looks. Can a doctor rebreak and straighten my nose, or is surgery only option?
