Did I cause damage? I'm 7 week post rhinoplasty and hit myself on the bridge of the nose with a cabinet door yesterday. There was no bleeding, but it did hurt and scare me. Today, there's a small red bump.

Answer: Injury after rhinoplasty If you suffered enough of an injury to create bruising I'd visit with your surgeon. However, even in the setting of surgery performed osteotomies it does tend to take considerable force to cause a problem. It is likely you got away with one in this circumstance but still visit with your doctor for evaluation.

Answer: Blow to the nose after rhinoplasty The longer it is after your rhinoplasty, the stronger your nose becomes. Even non-operated, or fully healed, noses can be broken, however! The nose is the most commonly broken bone in the body.Peace of mind is important. Visit your surgeon for a checkup.
