I've asked a familiar question before , but I want to be more clear.the picture with the tape was taken 3 days BEFORE I had Accidently hit my nose after undergoing a rhinoplasty. The picture without the tape on the nose is after I hit it. I feel as if the tip doesn't look as "up turnt " anymore and it looks bigger :/. I'm not seeing my surgeon for another week. So my question is, is it possible for the graft to jave shifted ? I hit it pretty hard...I've added a before pic.

It is part of the normal healing process for the nose to change shape from day to day and even within one day as the nose continues to heal after surgery. This is due to swelling that can be more visible in the morning, or for other reasons related to your diet, exercise, sleeping position, etc....
Hi,
There is always some asymmetry of the nostrils even before the surgery so asymmetry after the surgery can become more noticeable. Crooked nostrils are very difficult to fix. Some asymmetry is normal but to try and get them perfect you can run into problems It is very difficult to correct...
If you are just sitting and listening to music, I don't see the harm. If you're nose is in harm's way during the concert, then I don't see how you could. Speak with your own surgeon for sure.
