Hit my nose 4 days after rhinoplasty. Could it have done damage/affect results?

December 28, 2017
Asked By:Z002 in Detroit, MI

4 days after my rhinoplasty, I was hugging my girlfriend from behind and she leaned her head back and hit my nose. I was in pain for a few minutes, and then it subsided. It felt a little soar and swollen after the fact. It did not bleed or pop any stitches. My nose was still taped and with a splint, although I know the splint is more to control the swelling. Is it likely it could affect my results or cause internal damage?
