Can I have nose deviation corrected by getting punched opposite way?

October 5, 2016
Asked By:JGOGO86 in Bell Gardens, CA

My nose was broken and now deviates to (my) left. It was broken because someone punched me in it- like 9 years ago. If I let someone punch me with small glove on aiming for the lower bridge in opposite direction, could that sort of realign it? Or is it possible I could have my nose broken in an ENT office without having a massive cast over my face?
