Car accident after rhinoplasty.

ChinoMorenoMar 9, 2014
In a car wreck 2 nights ago airbag hit my face. Didn't have injuries, my nose bled a little after & had some swelling felt tender. Also had little bruising on it. I'm 3 months pt. rhinoplasty. 2 days after it doesn't look crooked or broken. Looks pretty much the same from the sides and from the front. Just swollen. Swelling has gone down a lot, still a little more swollen than it was before the accident .What are the odds that this will mess up my results? is it just swelling from the trauma?

A plastic surgeon can operate on your nose and the forehead, including the glabella.  You will need an examination first to determine what the cause is for the protrusion.  It may be better to approach the glabella from the scalp similar to the approach in an endoscopic browlift...
