How to Fix Broken Nose Tip?

CastlesAZ
A seal on a package I was opening gave way easier than expected, thus "punching" myself in the nose with the back of my thumb squarely hitting the tip straight up. I heard a snap followed by tenderness for a few days. A year later, I have seen some slight drooping and it has lost its sharpness in the tip which moves around easily. It is now bulbous looking with uneven bumps on top and aches. The little bones on the tip are uneven and I have an indention along the top. Is this fixable? I loved my nose! : (
