Nose still hurts 3 weeks after getting hit with a pillow 6 days post op. Can I get a second opinion?

Question

Got hit on the right side of my nose with a pillow near bridge area 6 days after my rhinoplasty. No noticeable damage; weirdly rt side looks a lil less swollen for Could that be due to the trauma?. Most importantly this happened three weeks, and every now and then there is a dull achey pain sensation only on the right side; not the left. Is still normal to still have pain from getting hit three weeks ago? Just a lil nervous. Have a follow up in 2 weeks but wanted to get some opinions. thanks.

Thank you for your question. You are very early in your healing process and are likely experiencing some swelling and bruising, which are natural at this point in your recovery. It is unlikely that a pillow caused damage, but it is impossible to know without an in-person consultation. I suggest that you review with a board certified facial plastic surgeon if you are concerned about your healing progress.
Best wishes,
