Potential damage on the nose by strong pressure - advice?

kates00ktrJun 17, 2022
I had a tertiary septorhinoplasty 8 months ago. But, 3 days ago I had a dental panoramic teleradiography and the radiologist placed the central part of the machine on top of my nose and pressed very hard, I immediately expressed my pain and she pressed less. But 3 days later, the area still hurts and I am afraid that it has damaged my nose and caused a new deviation. Is the pain related to the swelling it created? Is there a significant risk at eight months post-op? Should I have a scan? Thx.
