Is it best to avoid possible hits to the nose after rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Exquisite688548 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I saw a doctor say you can NEVER hit your nose ever again, not ever play any contact sport where you could potentially get hit. Is this true? If so i’m not sure why this surgery exists as getting hit or bumped in the nose is common specially if I want kids one day, have animals, wants to play basketball with friends, play volleyball at the beach, etc. do i have to not get hit the rest of my life?
