My friend threw a blanket at me and it hit my face. I am six weeks post op of a Rhinoplasty and a Nasal Graft surgery. It didn't hurt and my nose didn't bleed at all, but regardless I am worried that the impact may have messed up my nose internally making it harder for me to breath. Was my nose strong enough to endure the blow? Thanks.

Answer: Nose very stable six weeks after rhinoplasty.
Hi BenM15,
Thanks for your question. The typically inflammatory period after surgery lasts no more than 2-3 months on average. In my practice, at 2 months, my patients actually go back fully to all activities. This includes contact sports, as the bones of the nose are...
First, like I tell all of my rhinoplasty patients, you must be patient!! 10 days after surgery is much too early to tell anything about your final result. Swelling is significant at this stage and will change over the coming months, with final result typically being around 12-24...
I would contact your surgeon and have your urine tested to see if you do indeed have a UTI or not. If you do, it should be treated before your surgery and you would still have time to do this before your surgery date in 12 days.
