Did I Damage my Nose After I Hit It Accidentally Post Rhinoplasty?

Skylar
Six weeks ago I had a Rhinoplasty to remove the bump on top of the bridge, tip graph, and thin overall appearance. I have very thick skin so the swelling is going down very slowly. Yesterday, I sneezed and hit under my nose with my hand. Today, the tip looks more swollen than it was a couple of days ago. Do you think I did any real damage or most likely did I just aggravate the skin? I have no pain. How long will it take before I know if damage was done? And can anything be done now anyway?
