Only if it is obviously crooked from injury

William Portuese, MD answers: Is revision rhinoplasty necessary after nose got hit?

I had Rhinoplasty, and hit myself in the nose 11 days after the surgery. Is it advisable to have an adjustment now?

Since it has only been 11 days after the surgery, it is probably not a good idea to have an additional revision rhinoplasty unless the nose is very crooked. If it is obviously crooked from the injury, it probably should be reset.
