I had rhinoplasty 6 weeks ago, and 3 weeks after surgery I was on my scooter and fell off onto the ground.I fell off accidently as I crashed into a gate (I hit a stone). I was wearing a helmet of course and never banged/injured my nose, but I fell onto the ground onto my left side after fell off the bike, im worried the trauma or impact will or has moved the nasal bone slightly.
Is 3 weeks enough time for the nasal bones and tissues to become fixed enough that it wont move with any trauma?
