I hit my nose last night and it hurst, is it possible I damaged my Rhinoplasty after 3 years?

doorFeb 16, 2014
Hello, it's been 3 years since I had my rhinoplasty. Last night I hit my nose pretty hard and it hurt a lot. Now its morning it kind of aches, though I don't see any blood or any "I-can't-handle pain." I wonder if it is possible to damage my nose after 3 years. Thank you very much.
