I Just Bumped my Nose with my Finger 3 Days Post Op, Will This Harm my Nose?

Hello,

Based on your post it seems that you have not caused a damage to your nose but you need to keep an eye on your progress so if any unusual changes are to happen you should notify your surgeon.

What could happen after your incident is to have some swelling and/or redness in the area of impact that should resolve quickly.

I hope this helps.
Thank you for your post.

The best of luck to you.

Hello. A light bump to your nose should not cause enough trauma to affect the results of your rhinoplasty, but it may cause inflammation which can delay the healing process. If you experience large amounts of pain or have other concerns, check with your surgeon so that they can examine the situation and treat it properly.

Without visible trauma or epistaxis (nose bleed), it is not likely that you permanently damaged your nose.  However, give your surgeon a jingle and tell him what happened.
