I Was Strangled After Rhinoplasty, Would This Pressure Affect The Surgery Results?

This is probably an unusual question but i had a rhinoplasty about 4 mths ago. 3 months after surgery i was in a domestic violence situation where my then partner tried to strangle me with a belt around my neck, for several minutes. This created a lot of pressure in my nose and i am wondering whether this would have caused a change in the tissue of the nose etc. It feels fine now, but i do feel the tip looks a little lower than it did? Needless to say i am no longer in this relationship!

Highly unlikely

Since you feel fine now,it is unlikely to cause a permanent damage to your nose. However I would advise you to go back to your surgeon for a follow up.

Strangulation after rhinoplasty

Your first priority is to ensure you are safe, and that this does not repeat itself. strangulation would cut the blood flow temporarily to your tissues. Once the pressure is released the blood flow pattern should return, and if no permanent bluish discoloration was present, I would assume that everything should heal fine. However I would advise you to follow up with your surgeon. My Best,
