Nose Blow Left a Dent on the Right Side of Nose

Dilara
3 weeks ago, I received a blow to the right (left to you) side of my nose. Upon touch,I could hear some crackling, which is gone now. No bleeding but there was pain & swelling. I noticed a discolored dent. It looked and still looks like as if someone left a fingerprint mark on my nose, and it makes my nose look crooked (looks only smudgy in pics). It hurts if I apply pressure to it. Is this dent permanent or will the tissues in the area repair themselves & fill it up? How can I fix this? Thanks!
