Nose changed shape after injury 4 months ago - will it be even worse with time? (Photos)

December 17, 2022
Asked By:Exciting669892 in Roma, Lazio, Italy

4 months ago I fell on my face, causing a bump on my eyebrow (almost gone now) and nose swelling (no bleeding). The latter appeared immediately after the injury, producing an aquiline appearance, but seemed to go away mostly in the following week. However, I realise now that my nose does not look straight anymore. It also seems worse than it was 2 weeks after the injury. Could it still be swollen after 4 months and slowly going back to its original shape? Or will it be even worse with time?
