When is my Nose Bone Strong Enough to Not Break Easily After Rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Samantha6868

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?
