Will Accidentally Hitting the Nose Affect Rhinoplasty Results?

May 30, 2009
Asked By:aj in socal in california

I had my Rhinoplasty surgery done about 8 weeks ago. However, I don't know whether 6 weeks post-op is fully healed or just some strength regained. Today, I was acccidentally hit in the nose by my friend's shoulder. It was pretty hard but not extremely hard. I have not seen any big changes to the shape but there's a little difference that's visible. It may be the swelling caused by the impact. Is it safe to say it wont move at this point? Should I worry? Is it fixable, and will it ever look as good if I was to have surgery again? Please help.
