Accidentally hit nose after rhinoplasty. Will I be OK?

May 10, 2015
Asked By:Newb0dy in Miami, FL

Hello So my boyfriend accidentally bumped my nose while giving me a hug this morning, when it happened I felt my nose move to the left side and heard a noise that only I could hear from within (if that makes any sense?) I still have the splint on but I am freaking out that I may have ruined my results and my nose will now heal crooked once the splint is taken off and the swelling goes down:(, when it happened it obviously caused pain but nothing too bad, so what do you guys think? Will I be ok?
