Slapped on nose 3 months after rhinoplasty. Could my nose move?

Asked By:Healthfreak101 in Beverly Hills, CA

I had rhinoplasty(tip narrowed, bridge narrowed and bump removed) a little over 3 months ago. Last night I was at a bar with a friend and she slapped me straight on (not from the side) hitting my nose tip directly. It hurt for a few minutes. It didnt bleed and it doesn't look any different today. I already have an appt to see my surgeon but I am SO worried she did damage. Even if the nose doesn't look different could she have loosened something that will cause my nose to miss shape or droop over time?
