I was skiing- a woman wrapped her arms around me from behind to stop herself, we fell backwards and her poles pushed my nose upward. My nose is not large and previously looked a bit like a ski jump (lovely irony) but has had a bump in the middle ever since the accident 10 years ago. I was told by a plastic surgeon at the time that it would gradually become less obvious and return to normal but it hasn't.

I highly recommend against
intentionally re-breaking your nose, especially yourself. This can easily do
more damage than good, and can lead to a worse condition than you are in now.
If you are really that concerned with the way your nose looks, consult a
professional and see if you can work out...
I usually tell my patients to avoid sneezing the first week after rhinoplasty. The main reason is to prevent bleeding. If they must sneeze, I ask them to "sneeze through the mouth", instead of the nose (i.e., verbalize the "ahh-chooo" as they sneeze. I would not worry!...
I would advise you not to go that route. You are potentially compromising both airways. Any post tonsillectomy issues would be hsrder to treat. Also the pos surgical pain issues would be worse.
