I hit my nose very hard about a year ago, and it hurt VERY much for about ten minutes. And then, the pain stopped. Ever since, my nose has been growing crooked. It has never been like this, when I look at older photos my nose is straight. What can I do to get it fixed, preferably without plastic surgery? Can it still be reset from that long ago? Thanks!
