Can a broken nose cause a droopy tip or bulbous tip?

Asked By:brownieswithicecream in Los Angeles, CA

Well when I was like 5 I got hit in my nose and I have a bump now on the bridge of my nose. I felt weird about it when I was small and didn't really know what happened for for a few months I'd smush my nose in a downward motion. It didn't do it for quite a long time and I was in 4th grade when I would do this and like I said it was for only a couple of months but can this cause a droopy tip? Also if I remove my dorsal hump will my tip look better. Will it naturally stop drooping. Thanks, 15 yrs
