I'm a 15 year old female and I had rhinoplasty about 4 days ago. I had a significantly prominent dorsal hump removed, so both sides of my nose had to be broken. When would you say my nose bone, since it was broken, will be able to handle some mild blunt trauma without breaking my nose? About 6 - 8 weeks? The same time it takes for any other bone to heal?

Answer: Rhinoplasty
Usually by 4 weeks the bones are healed enough to withstand minimal trauma without shifting or re-breaking it.

Answer: Nasal Bone Stability Following Nosejob
At 8 weeks out from rhinoplasty surgery, or a nosejob, you should have fairly good stability of your nasal bones. It is usually sufficiently strong to resist minor pressure. But don't get a false sense of security. If you had other reshaping of the nose, such as tip work or cartilage grafting, these areas are still quite susceptible to minor traumas. As always, make sure you discuss things in detail with your rhinoplasty surgeon. Good luck and happy healing.
