3 months after minor injury and nose is pointing to one side - will this correct itself over time? (photo)

Deviated nose
I got slaped directly in the nose about three months ago. My nose was hit from the right side and it was pushed more than 90 degrees in the other direction. since the injury the tip of my nose always seems to be pointing left even when i change direction from which the lighting is coming from and the dorsal appears bony from the front. Will my nose eventually return to its normal shape since it is made of cartilage or is this a permanent addition to the shape of my nose
