Septoplasty: Q&A

Ask a Question

My Cat Jumped on my Face While I Was Sleeping and Hit my Nose (8 Days Post Op Septorhinoplasty). Have I Ruined my Results?

I got a septorhinoplasty 8 days ago to fix my deviated septum, add a spreader graft to the right side, and a hum reduction. This morning my cat jumped over my face and kicked my nose on the right side. It hurt badly, and looks to be swelling a lot on that side. Have I ruined my nose??? What should I do now?? Thank you
