Damage from Pinching Nose After Rhinoplasty?

savvysoutherner
I'm 12 days post-op from a secondary Rhinoplasty. I had spreader grafts and lateral crural strut grafts and a columellar graft were all used in my septum. I didn't need my bones broken. I'm nervous I've done something wrong. My face has been so stiff and my nose so hard from the swelling, so I used medium pressure and pinched the middle part of my nose (narrowing it) and then moved this with motion down and out away from my nose. Could I have caused any damage?
