Hitting Nose After Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty Affect Healing?

July 8, 2009
Asked By:Jasminexmx in London

I had a Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty operation done 5 days ago, and today I was washing my face when I accidentally hit my nose (it is still in the cast). It wasn't a hard hit--more like a slight knock with my fingers. But as I only had the operation 5 days ago, I was wondering if this could affect the healing process in any way?
