Getting Hit in the Nose 5 Weeks After Rhinoplasty?

November 14, 2012
Asked By:Rick13789

Today, exactly 5 weeks and 1 day post rhinoplasty, I got hit in the nose twice while playing Waterpolo. One of the hits was hard enough for me to get watery eyes. After the match a little bump has grown where my original bump was located. I called my doctor and he told me to place ice and to visit him the next day. I'd like to know if I could have really damaged my nose as I'm very nervous!
