17 days post open Rhinoplasty, a women I was standing close to accidently bumped into my nose going upwards. Not sure how hard the impact although it hurt. It's been 4 days since the impact and my nose is more swollen on the middle bridge section and feels swollen inside. I am going to see my surgeon about this tomorrow. There is pain from the impact in the left side inside at the mid bridge of my nose. Please advise what could have gone wrong in this instance. The anxiety is taking me over.
