Trauma after rhinoplasty

First 6 weeks after rhinoplasty the nasal bones are fairly unstable, so it does not take a lot of force to traumatize or displace them. Even though your two incidents most likely did not cause any significant damage, it is still a good idea to get evaluated by your surgeon. And please be more careful in the future.

Trauma after Rhinoplasty

Get safe first and do not allow any further trauma to nose or self. Follow-up with your surgeon today and follow the advice of medical personnel.

I recommend that you consult with your surgeon who knows the full details of your surgery and who can physically examine your nose in... more

Bumps to the nose following rhinoplasty.

In order to protect your investment, all reasonable measures need to be taken in order to prevent any physical force being applied to the nose for 4 to 6 weeks following rhinoplasty. At this point it would be reasonable to be apart from your partner for some time. I would get in to see your surgeon ASAP to see if any damage has been done. Mario J. Imola, MD, DDS, FRCSC.
