Received Light Trauma to Nose Bridge? (photo)
I bumped the bridge of my nose on a desk. I have a rib implant. The skin where I was hit is red and bruised, and there is a little swelling. The implant is still in the same position and doesn't seem to be broken. Should I worry?

Rib Implant and Light Trauma
If the rib implant is in the same position and your are well beyond the first few months of recovery, then there may be nothing to worry about. An exam would be necessary to confirm. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

More than likely it is just a bruise, but it may be a good idea to see your surgeon to make sure there is no exposure or problem.
