After resetting should your nose look the same as before?

April 5, 2016
Asked By:ReyMerce in Corpus Christi, TX

My son broke my nose by throwing his head back during a tantrum. ENT reset my nose in surgery about 24 days after the accident. My surgery was Feb 17th. Cast was removed on the 26th. I was told there was still some swelling so I didn't think much of it... but here I am now a little over a month later and my nose still appears to be crooked. I can still feel the bump on the left side of my nose. Is it possible it shifted back out of place? Or the procedure didn't work?
