Did I cause damage? I'm 7 week post rhinoplasty and hit myself on the bridge of the nose with a cabinet door (Photo)

You're certainly not alone! Many of my patients have bumped their nose in some way or another afterrhinoplasty, and, fortunately, I haven't seen any permanent damage. However, if you are concerned, please contact your plastic surgeon so that he or she can take a closer look and determine if anything needs to be done. At 7 weeks post-op, your nose still has some residual swelling, so he or she will advise you accordingly.

If you suffered enough of an injury to create bruising I'd visit with your surgeon.  However, even in the setting of surgery performed osteotomies it does tend to take considerable force to cause a problem.  It is likely you got away with one in this circumstance but still visit with your doctor for evaluation.

You would be surprised how many rhinoplasty patients do this!! You are also a nice distance out from the surgery date and structures have solidified more.I have never seen permanent damage in my patients. Hopefully your bump will resolve over the next week. Call and talk to your PS and send photo. H eight want you to initiate a gentle massage program and or see you.
