Asked By:sw9 in Calgary, AB

I injured my nose in a bad fall last week. The bridge of my nose has a dent. The x-ray showed that a piece of bone with chipped off. Part of the tip is is collapsed. I’ve had massive bruises under my eyes. I’ve read online that I should get reconstructive surgery within 2 weeks. I contacted my ENT surgeon, and I’ll get an exam in a month. But I’ve been on a waiting list for a deviated septum surgery for over a year. What should I do?
