Years ago I injured my left nasal bone due to trauma. Now left nasal bone is depressed in and barely visible. When you touch it feels soft and not hard and bony how I iused to have it. When the sunlight hits you can’t see the bony wall and when the shadow hits the whole side looks caved in and not symmetrical. What procedure do I need to restore the bone to its original place? When you touch it u can feel the hard and boney wall and also be seen when sunligtht and shadow hits it ?
