Hit Nose After 1 Year Post-Op Rhinoplasty- Have I Done Permanent Damage?

August 18, 2011
Asked By:7874anon in Cleveland

I had open rhinoplasty/septoplasty just over a year ago. The tip is still swollen as it was a revision. A few days ago I hit my nose somewhat hard- it caused pain but no bleeding. Now, I've noticed it is tender and a little painful to the touch at the point where the swelling begins in the nose. Just wondering if I should see someone or if this means I caused damage. Thanks!
