13 Months Post Op - Accidental Blow to Nose. Permanent Damage?
I had revision open septoplasty/rhinoplasty 13 months ago and last night received an accidental blow to the tip of my nose, which was quite painful for about a minute. It seemed to be ok last night, just a little sore. Its now the day after and l woke up with a strong headache and the top of my nose pounding. The nose seems to have maintained its shape. It quite tender and sore. My breathing seems to be ok, but l am concerned that l have done some damage. It hurts when l try to smile.

Nasal injury after nose job
It sounds as if you may have sustained a cartilaginous fracture or injury to the columella. There are muscles here that contract with smiling such as the depressor nasii septi muscle. There is probably not much to do other than ice packs. However, you should be examined to ensure that you do not have a septal hematoma which is unlikely but treatable.
