Can dropping a phone or slipping my hand onto my face, cause damage or shift a chin implant/change the outlook of a rhinoplasty?

Asked By:DerrickS in Buena Park, California

I just received a rhinoplasty/chin implant combined procedure about 2 hours ago. When I got home, I laid down on my bed and was holding up my phone while watching a video, when one of my hands slipped unto my face. I didn't hit myself hard, it was just a regular hand drop, but it dropped directly on my chin implant. There was mild pain that vanished in 2 minutes, but I was wondering if dropping a hand or phone on your face so early post-op could cause damage or a shift in an implant/nose job.
