My nose was bumped 2 months after rhinoplasty, on the bridge of the nose. Would there be damage done?

Asked By:laratuna in Beverly Hills, CA

From a snapback hat cap. It wasn't very hard but not a soft hit either. I felt sharp pain at the time & a small bump showed up. I iced it & the bump has disappeared overnight so I'm not sure if it was swelling. There is still the tiniest bump/uneven part on the bridge, does this sound like permanent damage? I'm 2 months post op, there was no bleeding & nose hasn't changed shape otherwise or moved. Bump seems to be getting smaller but can slightly feel it when I run over it with my hand
