Post rhinoplasty hit to nose tip, cartilage damage? Could it cause my nose to drop/mess up the nose perch? (Photo)

Asked By:RSMember4824 in Redondo Beach, CA

7 weeks post open rhinoplasty and underside/nostril/tip of nose got hit upward by someone's hand with a decent amount of force. I now notice the slightest drop in my nose tip and feel like I lost the upturned tip I had and the bulb flatted out a bit. The left side of my nose bled very slightly the next day and there is some swelling. Is it possible to have done damage or could it be swelling and my own freaking out? The photos show post trama on the left and before photos on the right.
