How much force does it take to break/fracture a nose or deviate my septum after rhinoplasty?

Asked By:mars333 in Florida, FL

Last night I was texting on my phone in bed, I moved the blanket and my phone slipped out of my hand and hit me in the forehead and nose. It didn't fall from an extreme distance but it did hurt. There was no bleeding and it doesn't look bruised/discolored. My nose is sore though, I'm really paranoid. I had a rhinoplasty 1 year and 7 days ago. ( I had everything done to it ) How do I know if it is damaged or not?
