My daughter threw 2 plastic figurines and they hit clipped the bridge of my nose. I have had a lingering headache and it feels like the pain is centered where my nose is. My eyes aren’t bruised and my nose didn’t bleed, it is slightly swollen but no one but me would notice. There is a red mark where it hit and I can barely touch my nose, it’s so tender. Should I go see my family physician? Is there anything they can do?

You still have some time in regards to your healing so be a bit patient. If there continues to be some asymmetry at about the six month mark, then I would start thinking about a revision surgery to lower the higher rim. Best of luck
Depending on how you tolerate general anesthesia and the surgery overall, it can be possible to work on essays and assignments soon after surgery. But to be safe, it can be recommended to make your arrangements in a manner that they would not be required to be done within the first 1-2 days...
At 6 months post-op, the tissues should be very well-adhered. However, there still may be some degree of swelling depending on the extent of your surgery. In any event, it is unlikely that waxing your nose will compromise or change your result this far after surgery.
