Can a rescued kitten with lip and nose injuries heal without surgery?

Question

I found a kitten this morning. Someone has hurt her and tied her in a long men's sock and left her to die in an alley in freezing cold temperatures. She has a lower lip avulsion and scraped nose. I brought her home to get warm and fed her. She eats soft food and drinks water on her own. She doesn't seem like she's in pain and is not afraid of people or other animals and acts perfectly normal. You can't even tell she's hurt unless she looks up. Is it possible for her to heal without surgery?

That is very nice that your took her in! She really should be examined by a vet to determine the extent of her injuries and determine if treatment is needed. It is difficult to know if she could heal without actually examining her and evaluating all her injuries.
