The best idea is to be seen for an evaluation by a facial plastic or plastic surgeon. Because a month has already passed you may not be able to simply "pop" the nose back into normal position anymore. However, rhinoplasty techniques can help you to achieve the look that you're seeking for your nose. During the consultation, nasal imaging can be performed to give you an idea what you may expect as a result of your correction. Best of luck!
Fractured nasal bones should usually be repaired or "re-set" in the 1st week following the injury. Otherwise, I would wait 3-6 months to undergo a formal rhinoplasty to reshape the contour irregularities.
First, it's important to be evaluated by ENT/ facial plastic surgeon to document the extent of the injury both internally and externally. X-rays may be needed as well. If the nose is crooked on a permanent basis, a rhinoplasty procedure will be required. This is also known as an open reduction of the nasal fracture, however it can be performed through a closed rhinoplasty approach with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. Anticipate a cast applied across the bridge of the nose for one week and visible swelling and bruising for two weeks
If you have a displaced nasal bone fracture, you may benefit from a closed reduction with external stabilization under anesthesia to reset the bone. Most often it is preferred to have this done within 21-30 days after injury for this surgery to be most effective, so see a rhinoplasty physician as soon as possible for an examination and recommendations. If you can't see someone asap, then open reduction nasal bone fracture with stabilization and/or dorsal reduction can still be done at a later date. It is normal for there to be swelling along your fracture site from trauma and callus formation of the bone. Over time, this too will improve. Hope this answer helps.
If you broke it a month ago, it is too late to do what is called a closed reduction, which should be done within 7-10 days after the injury to set the bones back into position. Now you should wait about 6 months to undergo a rhinoplasty to regain your appearance. It is helpful if you have pictures of yourself prior to the injury to show the surgeon.
Thanks for your photos. The relationships of the large nose with uneven lips are a common complaint that is seen in many "selfies". The parallax distortion arises from the camera taken at arm's length that makes the closest structures look too big, and the background structures look too smal...

Thank you for your question. The nose will can stay swollen for 3-6 months and swelling will fluctuate with activity, heat, and salt intake. Avoid long term sun exposure. Please see your surgeon with any additional concerns.
