Did I cause damage? I'm 7 week post rhinoplasty and hit myself on the bridge of the nose with a cabinet door (Photo)

You're certainly not alone! Many of my patients have bumped their nose in some way or another afterrhinoplasty, and, fortunately, I haven't seen any permanent damage. However, if you are concerned, please contact your plastic surgeon so that he or she can take a closer look and determine if anything needs to be done. At 7 weeks post-op, your nose still has some residual swelling, so he or she will advise you accordingly.

You would be surprised how many rhinoplasty patients do this!! You are also a nice distance out from the surgery date and structures have solidified more.I have never seen permanent damage in my patients. Hopefully your bump will resolve over the next week. Call and talk to your PS and send photo. H eight want you to initiate a gentle massage program and or see you. 

At this stage in your healing process, your nose is stronger than it was before your surgery. Depending on how hard the blow was to your nose you may have caused damage. I recommend consulting with your doctor to check on your progress.Best of luck,Dr. Ali Sajjadian
