Is it still possible to cause damage if I touch/hit tip of my nose 9 months post rhinoplasty?

Question

Hello! I had a closed rhinoplasty nine (almost 10) months ago. One side of my tip is still very swollen. Today and two days ago, I accidentally touched the tip of my nose a bit harsher than usual (it was so light you can't even call it hit) and I felt a weak pain. My nose didn't become red or more swollen. Neither does it still hurt. And the appearance of my nose didn't change. I'm still very afraid I could have caused any damage. Is it possible to still cause damage? Thank you!

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand your question, the healing process is totally up to your skin type. If you had thick skin the healing will be much longer than usual so you need to protect your nose from damage more long time. If you can provide photos from front of your face, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!
