Broke my nose after a rhinoplasty, how long is ideal to have it surgically fixed?

June 3, 2024

I broke my nose it is a non displaced fracture but definitely broken everything is fine as I got it checked and my surgeon said I have to wait at least 3 months to get it surgically fixed. Even though it's non displaced something about it is off. Would it be better to get the surgery at 3 months when there is still gonna be swelling or should I wait a full year when most of the swelling is gone?
