My 9month old baby hit my nose 6days after surgery. It still had the cast on and splints inside. It didn't bleed but throbbed for ages. She hit my nose on the side where the surgeon did a graft to help straighten my nose. The cast and splints are off now and there is a slight bend and dip where she hit me. Possibly where she's made the graft be pushed in a bit or hit and made the swelling go in that area? Is it possible to use tape to help compress the nose back into the straighter position?
