In general it is better to do the nose surgery first so that any affect that the nose surgery has on lip aesthetics (and it typically will have an affect) is considered before proceeding with any lip procedures.
Hi @ECM012987. If your nose did not bleed internally, you probably didn't fracture it then. What your are noticing is swelling of the lining of your nasal bone. I recommend that you ice the area. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
