Hi I underwent rhinoplasty last week and got the cast removed just recently and the doctor told me that the nose is extremely fragile and and that I should be very careful with the nose for about 6 weeks. No touching and absolutely no hits on the nose, because "that would traumatize the tissues more than they are and risk moving the nose out of alignment". However, ever since, I've gotten random accidental hits on the nose from friends. It didn't hurt much, but did it possibly hurt the nosejob?
