Bumped nose 6 weeks after Rhinoplasty

Dear Waffle123Thanks for the question. It's too early to make a comment about the healing but it’s very rare to see removed hump comeback but for some cases still it’s possible to see %10-12 remove hump growing back. I advice to consult your doctor. I wish you all the best.

I think that I receive at least one call a week from a patient who inadvertently bumped their nose following rhinoplasty surgery.  There are certainly injuries that can disrupt your surgical result, but for the most part, after a couple of weeks, a bump to the nose should not cause any significant injury to a previously operated nose.  Obviously, contact your surgeon for some reassurance.

Mild trauma to the nose does not lead to any significant changes in the nasal shape or function.  However, if you see any deformity of the nose you must see you surgeon.RegardsDr. J

Thank you very much for enquire.

Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.
In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.
To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.
Kind regards, 
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

A slight bump on your nose shouldn't adversely affect your rhinoplasty results. Now, if he's really banged you and it hurt like a mother, maybe, but based on your description, you should be fine. Kindly,Kouros Azar

At 6 weeks out and without any visible change after this bump, you are fine. You can always see your surgeon for an in-person check-up if you are concerned you see a change or just need some additional reassurance.

It is unlikely that a light tap on your nose caused any significant trauma. If you are concerned, you should check with your surgeon.

I am so sorry to hear about what happened waffle123! I hope you are not in too much pain. Close follow up and seeing your plastic surgeon in the office can help make sure that things are still okay. If osteotomies were performed, trauma to the nose can cause things to shift. Six weeks out from surgery you may still be swollen and things are still healing. Best, MMT

Your best option to be calmed down is to call your doctor and let him know. He will check on you.Good luck
