Can this be corrected? (Photo)

May 16, 2024
Asked By:Mermaid508 in Barnstable, Massachusetts

I received a blow to the nose as I bent forward and my 4 year up head butted me. I don’t have any breakage to the bridge of my nose, but possibly cartilage on the side close to the tip. I also had a bump at the base of my right nostril where I can possibly feel where the break occurred. Can this be straightened out surgically or non surgically? Looking for straightness and probably bridge of nose to be less prominent.
