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: Hit my nose hard Dear Macexx,I am sorry you are concerned. At eight months post-op, you would need to have a significant injury in order to cause damage to your nose. However that being said, I would recommend you meet with your surgeon for a full physical exam to better assess your nose. Good luck.Best regards,Nima Shemirani

Answer: Swelling and bleeding after rhinoplasty Thanks for sharing your question. It's not likely (though, it is possible) that this minor trauma would effect your rhinoplasty result. Though, if the trauma was sufficient to cause any bleeding or swelling you should give your surgeon a call and have your surgeon examine your nose. Only a thorough physical examination could determine if any harm was done. Hope this is helpful. Good luck!Dr. Harmych

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!
