Hello, I'm 6 months post-op. My young niece bumped her forehead into my nose head on with moderate force. Only the lower third of my nose made contact. My nose was smushed into her forehead if you will. There was no pain, no swelling, no bleeding. I do still have some tenderness a couple of days later. The shape doesn't seem changed either.
