Hit my nose pretty badly 3 weeks after septoplasty, what are the chances I've ruined it?

Asked By:EliRudy in Sydney, AU

A friend of mine went to lift their head as I was looking at them and the back of their head collided with mine causing my nose to bleed for about 10 minutes and I was intense pain afterwards. A day later I still have tenderness and pain and when I rinse my nose with water there's a stinging pain. Plus I think I'm developing bruising where my original deiviation was before surgery. What are the chances I'll need a second surgery to fix my nose??
