one month after my open nose surgery i was babysitting and the kid threw a pillow over my face pulling down on the sides squishing my beautiful new nose. it hurt pretty bad and he stopped after i screamed but im just worried its ruined. it doesnt look abviously crooked or squished the only thing that i noticed is my tip isnt as bulbous looking. it has gotten alot wider (maybe its just swelling) i just dont like it as much as i was before this happened, do you think it is just swelling?is it ruined

'Squished" Nose 1 Month after Rhinoplasty

Wait until the swelling caused by your 'squish" to resolve (probably 2-3 weeks) and then see your surgeon for evaluation. Best of Luck!

Squished nose

A squished nose after rhinoplasty is hard to evaluate without seeing pre, posts and more recent posts. If concerned see your doctor.

Run back to your surgeon ASAP. You may have a problem that can be corrected very easily. But asking over the internet delays possible treatment. CALL NOW! From MIAMI DR. B

Trauma to nose after rhinoplasty

Without examining you or seeing before and after pictures it is impossible to know what has changes. I would suggest making an appointment with your surgeon. However, they may not know either until all the swelling has resolved and the tissues have settled. Good luck.
