Closed Reduction with ENT and then Rhinoplasty later? Or leave broken nose as is and have procedures done together?

elledemm
My nose is broken and the ENT wants to do a closed reduction next week. Before the break I was considering having rhinoplasty done so it makes sense to have everything done at once. So my question is do I hold off on the closed reduction with the ENT and just let my nose heal crooked and then have everything (functional & cosmetic) fixed with a plastic surgeon? Or still do the closed reduction now and cosmetic Rhinoplasty later? How long will I have to wait before it's ok to have surgery?
