Can accidentally hitting the nose bridge cause a permanent shape change?

Asked By:Noh4312367 in San Francisco, California

I already have a fractured part on the left side of my nose bridge with a little pump next to it YEARS AGO, which makes me feel that I might be less immune to nose hits. TODAY, I got an accidental elbow hit and it was painful but the pain was gone quickly and there was no bleeding. I wonder if that might be cussing any shape change and if I need to see a doctor?
