Hit hard in nose about 2 wks ago from the side. Do I need surgery ASAP to repair or wait? Will it heal without surgery?

Nose swelled more on 1 side, front teeth hurt & top lip swollen = went to dr. Note: rhinoplasty 15+ yrs ago to repair deviated septum, no issues until now. CT SCAN – Mild deformity of bilateral nasal bones – Superimposed fracture cannot be excluded – Reduction of nasal valve angle bilaterally, left greater than right – Mild-to-moderate deviation of nasal septum to left NOW: Still in pain & issue breathing from one side of nose. - Are there options besides taking ear cartilage to repair nose?
