Asked By:ml305 in Hialeah, FL

While boxing i was accidentally headbutted and it fractured my noae but i wasnt aware of it. It swelled up and in about 2 weeks when down so i sparred again and was punched in the nose one good time and then my nose became displaced and bigger. About 3 weeks after that i had a closed reduction and septoplasty done which made my nose straighter but im about 2 days shy of a month post-op and its still significantly huge. Is this permanent?
