After a broken nose
Your broken nose will most likely heal without any problems. If you’re unhappy with the way your nose looks after it heals or if you’re having difficulty breathing normally, talk to your doctor about reconstructive nose surgery. When the pain and swelling subsides after the injury is healed you should have full function of your nose and the bones around it.
