I had rhinoplasty 8 months ago and today I hit my nose very hard against my phone and there was bleeding. It is swollen and a bit sore when touched, will the swelling go down and go back to normal?

Answer: Rhinoplasty Trauma Hello, Even though it has been eight months since your rhinoplasty, the bones can shift if you sustain significant trauma to the area. This is usually seen as a visible deviation of the nose during or after the acute swelling phase. It is a good sign that you don't see any deviation of the nose yet but I do recommend allowing your surgeon to examine you as soon as you can. Best of luck.

Answer: Nasal trauma after rhinoplasty I suggest you see your rhinoplasty surgeon to assess your nose. With that said, it is unlikely (although not impossible) to have significantly damaged your nose, especially 8 months after your rhinoplasty. Good luck!
