Is my nose forever crooked/dented or will it heal straight again?

August 6, 2015
Asked By:joon98 in Killeen, TX

I'm 17. Two days ago, my toddler nephew head-butted me very hard in the bridge of my nose. Ever since then, there has been a visible dent in my nose. It's definitely not broken, but the dent is painfully obvious. Will the dent go away? Will my nose be straight again on its own or is it going to be crooked/dented permanently? Is it possible it's just taking a very long time to heal? I have never hurt my nose before this incident.
