I had a rhinoplasty 2 years ago. A few days ago I was hit on the nose HARD with a basketball. My nose did not bleed, but it did hurt alot and swelled up. it hurt for a couple hours after that and it is still swollen days after. I am extremely worried because where the columella meeta my septum, there is a piece of cartilage poking out. it was not there before. I am wondering if its possible that I broke my carilage? I have been icing my nose and it is still there.
