Bumped nose after rhinoplasty
At 6 weeks postop, there is a lot of healing that has already occurred, so it is unlikely that you did any real damage with a light bump. Always check with your surgeon if you are concerned!

Bumping your nose six weeks after rhinoplasty will not change the shape
While the swelling of a rhinoplasty certainly takes a lot more than 6 weeks to resolve, the bones and cartilages are pretty well fixed in place. Your nose at this point should be as sturdy as it was before the rhinoplasty. So, if you bump your nose at this time, and cause any change to the shape, then it would have happened whether you had a rhinoplasty or not. Best, - Dr. Phil

Given the description of your mild "injury" along with the 6 weeks that you are postoperative following your rhinoplasty,it is not very likely that you have sustained any significant injury.

Hit nose
At this point you should be fairly safe. Check with your surgeon if you have any further doubt.

Nasal trauma
At six weeks after rhinoplasty the nasal bones are well healed. I think you are ok because it would take significant trauma to change your nose. Consult your surgeon

Bumped my nose 6 weeks after Rhinoplasty did I damage it?
If you felt pain, discomfort spot swelling after bumping your nose, you might have caused an injury even 6 weeks after your Rhinoplasty. It's best for you to contact your Rhinoplasty surgeon and tell him/her what happened.

Bumped nose six weeks after rhinoplasty
Chance is great that nothing happened as the nose is fairly well healed by six weeks, so much so that we allow full exercise, without contact of course. Be careful.
Best of luck,

Could I Have Done Damage 6 Weeks Post-Op By Bumping My Nose?
Despite this event you should feel comfortable that the likelihood of you creating harm or damage to your operated nose is minimal. It truly does take a deal of force to create a problem such as being struck in the nose or suffering a fall. The pressure you would have placed on your nose should likely have been minimal in this situation so no harm no foul!
