I have a dark shadow on my nose almost 3 weeks after a closed reduction for a broken nose that is not going away (Photo)

Asked By:777111 in Raleigh, North Carolina

This is my 3rd broken nose and with the other 2 I didn't have long term bruising. I am now 46 years old and very worried this dark shadow won't go away. I also have a bump on the bridge of my left side where he had to put the bone back in place.... What do I do to make the bruising go away? Does it look swollen still? What about the bump? this was not cosmetic, was for a broken nose. My nose wasn't perfect before but now I am so self- conscious about it...
