Hey, I made a correction of the nasal bone. 2 wks after the surgery, I dropped my cell phone on the side of the nose and this really hurt cus the blast was intense. It immediately began to swell up and the pain was soon over, I never bled. the next I feel a nodule one side of the nose and it feels like bone. Can swelling really be so hard like its bony? today it has been three wks since the blast and I sometimes have headaches on this nodule. I have damaged my nose properly? Can it be swollen?
