After 7 days of rhinoplasty I hit my nose with my hand. (photos)

This is more common than you realize!  Without significant pain, bleeding, or noticeable increase in swelling, then it is very unlikely you did any damage. Be sure to discuss your concerns the next time you see your surgeon and continue to care for your nose as you were instructed. Good luck!

Thank you for your question.  I am sorry that you inadvertently hit your nose, and certainly understand your concern.  Your description is not an uncommon scenario, and an accidental 'hit' to the nose can happen without warning.  If you are not having much bleeding and/or swelling, I think you should be okay.  I would continue to be cautious, even over and above what you have been doing until all swelling has subsided.  I would also let your surgeon know what happened, if there is any way possible.  I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Thank you for the question and photos! Considering a lack of observable changes and a relative absence of pain, no damage was probably done to your nose.  It is always a good idea to visit your doctor and have him/her assess the inside of your nose to make sure you don’t develop any problems on the inside.  Best of luck!
