40 days post-op rhinoplasty, can a passionate kiss to the nose damage the final results?

albicocca86Apr 8, 2018
Hi, I had my third rhynoplastic 8 months ago. I'm very worried since, after 40 days, my new boyfriend (who didn't know about the surgery) kissed me passionately on the nose. I felt the pressure cause my nose was sensible but no "real pain" and no bleed. I just felt the pressure for a bit till the next day ( and a lot of concern) Now my nose is slightly hollow to my left part but I think that the swelling is not totally gone. Sorry for my english. Thanks a lot, I'll wait for your answers

Some small changes can be made to make your nose a bit smaller and cuter. It is vital to find a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.
