Notify your surgeon if you have had any increase in swelling after the trauma. Would not anticipate your results being adversely affected. However, continue to protect your nose.

Hi, Thank you for your post. It does not sound like you have anything to be concerned about. I would follow up with your surgeon just to make sure that you didn't do any damage since an exam is the only way to really tell.

From what you have described, I believe you have no cause for concern.  If there was no pain, bleeding or swelling you should be just fine.  Your final outcome should not be affected.Best of luck,Dr. Philip Solomon, Solomon Facial Plastic

It takes a significant amount of trauma to damage the nose after rhinoplasty procedure. Lightly bumping the nose will not cause any damage.

David Q. Santos, MD · Answer

Your story suggests a minor trauma to soft tissues and support structural cartilage and bone.  The proof of the situation is inherent in an examination internally and externally.  Generally, the degree of injury is proportional to the amount of force of the trauma, and also is proportional to the pain endured.  Thusly, it should be ok.  But a careful inspection with your surgeon is in order.  Likely, nothing would be done in the short-term even if there was found to be concern on examination.
