Rhinoplasty done May 2018 - while cleaning nose with tweezers the other day I pulled down on something and now nose has indent.

I had rhinoplasty done to thin and reduce a bump on the top of my nose in May 2018. The other day I was using tweezers to clean my nose and pulled down on something that I thought was dried mucus. I felt something shift and now my nose has an indent above my right nostril. There was no bleeding. I'm worried that I pulled down on something supporting the nose (though I don't know why that would still be there so long after the surgery). I'm very worried that I damaged my surgery. Should I visit my doctor?
