I accidentally hit the tip of my nose upward, will this damage the nose after rhinoplasty?

I underwent rhinoplasty 2 and a half weeks ago. The doctor aligned my nasal bone by breaking bones and lifted the tip. As I was putting my retainer on, I applied pressure on my retainer upwards with my thumb. My hand slipped and I ended up flicking the tip of my nose upwards with a lot of force. Now I'm scared I have caused my tip to become overturned.
