Hit on tip of the nose downwards 6 years after surgery

Question

My best friend was playing around unfortunately he hit my nose tip downwards with his chest. It hurt for like 48 hours when I touch it ( only the right side hurts). I had rhinoplasty 6 years ago buy I’m still concerned about it because after 6 years my nose tip is still very hard and not very moveable. My nose doesn’t really look different. Only a bit swelling but when i touch the cartilage part it feels strange.

When people sustain nasal trauma that might lead to a change in nasal appearance, the change in nasal appearance is noted immediately. And typically this is associated with a nosebleed. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question I recommend that you consult your surgeon or an ent doctor. It is not possible to give detailed information without examination
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Your nose should be absolutely fine at 6 years postop, esp if it is just someone hitting it. Don't worry!
