It's been six months since I had my nose job. I was play fighting with my boyfriend and he accidentally hit the side of my nose it made a weird sound and the pain was a 5/10 will this affect the outcome or will there be damage internally?
Answer: Hitting nose after rhinoplasty Dear JungleK,Thank you for your clinical post and photograph. By 6 months a standard rhinoplasty, which involve the breaking of nasal bones, removing a dorsal bump or improving the shape of the nasal tip should be fully healed. Slight to moderate nasal trauma will be unlikely to disrupt this, as the nose is resilient to trauma at 6 months. If excessive force is applied then the soft tissue cartilages or even nose bones can break much like they could have pre-operatively. Visiting your operative plastic surgeon would help reassure you that no trauma has occurred. I hope this information is of some assistance and best of luck.
