I drove over a speed bump too fast 10 days post rhinoplasty. Should I be concerned?

Hello,Thank you for your question. I do not believe that you should be concerned about your nose. If you did not directly hit your nose, I think you should be fine!All the best, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210

its unlikely that you caused any damage to your nose, unless you bumped it and immediately felt pain/nose bleed/nasal obstruction.  When in doubt, contact your operating surgeon! Best of luck.

Adam Bryce Weinfeld, MD · Answer

It is unlikley driving over a speed bump too fast could have done any damage after your surgery as long as you did not bump your nose in the process.  If you did bump your nose, you should let your surgeon know.

Hi and welcome to our forum!Congratulations on your recent surgical procedure...The nature of the injury sustained is important here...Did you strike your nose? Did you suffer a nosebleed? Is there an increase in your pain level? Does the nose appear different?It is unlikely that you sustained a significant injury to your nose if you did not strike it.If concerned, see your surgeon for reevaluation.Best wishes!

Dear alaaf96, If you did not hit the nose and experience any trauma like a bump, nose bleed, change in appearance then likely you have no cause for concern. I always appreciate my patients to contact me when they have any concern so that I can give them peace of mind during their recovery. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
