Will a closed reduction of a nasal fracture be effective 19 days after injury? Will it be healed and look normal within 7 days?

A closed reduction is scheduled for 11-1-16,with my ENT Dr., which is 19 days after the injury occurred. I can definitely feel the bump and also see the crookedness. My doctor mentioned that she could not see it, but could feel it.Is 19 days after injury too late to have the reduction be effective and will the visual part of the healing process be complete after 7 days. Also if it is too late to do the closed reduction, what are my options? My insurance does not cover plastic surgery.
