Thanks for the question,This is something everyone is worried about but the majority of times, things are ok and there is no lasting damage. the best thing to do, is to follow-up with your surgeon to check.James
Dear Theniak it is very unlikely you caused serious damage to your recently operated nose, although the trauma was caused at 2 weeks following surgery. Signs of damage are nasal bleed, obvious deviation, pain and a cracking nose during the injury. It is helpful if you see your doctor and get it checked. Despite the swelling there is a good chance for him/her to determine if there is any damage and potentially fix it, when it is at an early stage.
Thank you for sharing your question. It is very common to bump the nose after rhinoplasty surgery. Though, it would be highly unlikely the trauma from a minor bump would have sufficient force to result in any damage that would affect your result. However, if you notice any changes such as swelling, bleeding, new bruising, asymmetry or pain, you may want to bring this to the attention of your surgeon. Close follow up with your rhinoplasty surgeon is imperative to ensure good long term results. Thanks again for sharing. Good luck!Dr. Harmych
Most of the time a minor bump to the nose poses no harm. You should be having regular check ups with your surgeon to ensure a smooth recovery and results for the first year. Best of luck!
Dear theniak,it is hard to tell without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
Thank you for your query.It would seem that the amount of force on your nose was not severe enough to cause any lasting damage. I would advice that you speak to your surgeon for reassurance.Kind regards
Hello, I'm so sorry that your nose. You definitely should take an extra trip to see your surgeon even if you don't have a post-op appointment. Give them a call and let them know your concerns. The nose is still healing at only two weeks so damage may have been done. That being said, there are times where patients bump their noses and everything heals just fine. Best of Luck.Richard P. Clark MD
Hi,An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon will have intimate knowledge of nasal anatomy and will not get close to the sphenopalatine artery. If you have having concomitant sinus surgery, then you have some very minor risk of injuring the SPA. Cautery may be effective but surgical clips are better if...
Hi beyonce12 and thank you for your question. Congratulations on having your rhinoplasty. Healing after surgery takes months to a year for the final product to be seen. Areas of swelling develop and change significantly in the post-operative weeks/months. If there is an area of particular...
There are no concerns with flossing and brushing, with or without an electric toothbrush, after rhinoplasty surgery as long as you take care not to bump your nose.
The crooked nose may be related to a deviated septum and septoplasty surgery, performed on the inner nose, can improve your breathing. The bump does not impact your breathing, but a rhinoplasty can improve the shape of your nose. These two surgeries are performed together under one...
It is difficult to advise on this particular question without a in-person consultation and without knowing specifics of the surgeries performed or how they were carried out. It would be ideal to contact your surgeon for further questions and concerns so that he/she may guide you in the right...
It is difficult to say what would be needed without seeing photos. Nevertheless, you are right, in the sense that multiple things contribute to the facial profile. The anatomy of the chin is directly related to the appearance of the nose. If both the chin and the nose are...
