Nose Ruined After I Accidentally Bumped It

April 13, 2011
Asked By:nicksummers

i had primary open rhinoplasty 3 days ago. i slightly bumped the side of my nose and im worried that all of my doctor's wonderful work just went down the drain. i bumped it with the splint on, so that could have protected it. should i be concerned at this point?
