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

Question

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

Unless there were rigid grafts that were placed like a rib graft, i think at 40 days postop its unlikely that any permanent damage was caused by this.  If rigid structural grafts were placed - ie columellar strut or extension graft, this can become dislocated.  Best to speak to your plastic surgeon.Best wishes

Hello,
I dont think that such a kiss is possible to damage the nose.Only if a synthetic implant was used for the  nose than perhaps you should check with some PS if your own PS is not available.
