How Do You Know if You've Ruined a Rhinoplasty?

August 2, 2013
Asked By:Gregory54 in Bay Saint Louis, MS

I had a Rhinoplasty and Nasal Graft Surgery 8 weeks ago. About a week ago, I mistakenly drank too much alcohol and got to the point where I don't remember how I got to sleep. I am worried I may have ruined my Rhinoplasty and Nasal Graft Surgery. I woke up and was not in any pain or anything and my nose looked the same. If I don't remember what I did, how am I supposed to know whether I ruined my results or not?
