Got hit on the face playing ball, did I damage my nose tip? (Photos)

Asked By:mikeman123 in Los Angeles, California

I didn’t bleed and I didn’t feel pain, but I got a pretty big scratch on exterior of nose near the tip(Probably caused by my glasses which broke) . I had my rhinoplasty 10 months ago and I’m just wondering if I messed up the tip cartilages or the support that was added to fix my droopy tip during rhinoplasty. I noticed that the tip is now dropping a bit more after the trauma. 1st photo is before injury, the rest are after.
