I recently had a septoplasty and blew my nose on day four of recovery, will there be damage?

Hi, I recently had a septoplasty and blew my nose extremely carefully (like little mini nose breaths) on day four of recovery and didn't think anything of it however today, day six, i noticed that what I had thought to be a huge booger is actually what I believe to be a stent in my nose. So basically my question is is it possible for my septum to 'revert' back to what it was pre-surgery because the stint was moved? Also, I've had no bleeding issues in case that helps
