Nose bones & septal cartilage near columella broke w/blunt force trauma, howcan I get my PS to believe I broke septal cartilage?

noserevamp
2days post surg w/ENT, felt cartilage start moving. 7days post, bone fell from bridge of nose, saw PS 4days later; put bone back in place, but cartilage already healed incorrectly w/translational displacement & he was convinced there was no way cartilage fractured. Can feel ridge on septum where 2 pieces healed on left & break on right. Worried about eventual nasal tip droop due to septal cartilage shortening, nose is looser & squishier, inside of left nostril significantly smaller than right.
