The most important aspect to achieving an ideal plastic surgery result is communication with your surgeon.  You need to consult with your surgeon again and before the surgery.  If it helps, make a list of the things you DO and DO NOT want in regards to the look of your new nose. ...

Hello, Thank you for the question.  During a rhinoplasty loose bone fragments that have not healed can be replaced or removed.  Bone fragments that have healed can be re-broken and moved or removed as needed. All the best, Dr. Remus Repta

I think that it's highly unlikely that you could have done any damage by yawning, especially since you're so 6 weeks into post-op. You shouldn't panic, but you can discuss it with your surgeon, who can examine you, which will surely give you peace of mind!  Good luck!
