Sleeping on nose 9 months post op - could this ruin my result?

Asked By:Easygoing475043 in Los Angeles, California

I had a revision rhinoplasty 9.5 months ago. Today I fell asleep and woke up sleeping on my face such that my nose could have been bent by the sleeping position. Could this ruin my result or rebend my nose? I had rib cartilage grafts placed. My main reason for rhinoplasty was straightening the nose.
