Can the septum deviate again after hit by a ball post septoplasty?

I had a septoplasty and turbinectomy 3 weeks ago and yesterday i played basketball and i got accidentally hit on the nose by the ball. It did not bleed but it hurt for a while. Today my nose feel a little bit swollen and congested than before. Will this affect the overall outcome of the surgery?
