Permanent Indentation from Glasses After Rhinoplasty?

Kel87
So I understand that you are not to regularly wear glasses after rhinoplasty for at least 4 weeks. I am 2.5 weeks and literally had them on for less than a minute searching for my contacts this morning. I was holding them up off my nose, but as I was taking them off I accidently tapped the right side of my nose with the nose pad. It wasn't that hard, but hard enough to hurt (still doesn't take much at this point) AND leave a slight indentation. Could this be permanent? Thank you for your time.
