Around 7 years ago, i suffered a trauma to the nose. It caused my nose to appear wider than anybody in my family. And the septal cartilage became twisted. When i feel the area below the septal cartilage with my fingers, there are broken pieces of bones moving around. Then I tried to fix it with manipulating by hand this vomer bone area with small force. Now my nose looks worse and more flat than ever. Did i broke my vomer bone more? What should i do? Can rhinoplasty fix the issue?
