Is It Possible that a Broken Nose as a Teenager Could Effect the Facial Development?

mockthree
I had a bad broken nose which resulted in a deviated septum and a twisted appearance (a convex/concave issue). This occurred when I was about 16 1/2 (I am a male). I then had a failed septoplasty 1 year later, and a successful septo about 1 1/2 years after that. These ops only fixed the septum. I then had two rhinoplasties which fixed appearance (5 years post septoplasty). Given the timing of things (and my gender), is there a possibility that my midfacial development was negatively impacted?
