Can a minor nose injury after nose job affect results?

Question

Hello doctor,

I recently got bumped by my shoulder three times by accident, and the nose kept stretching big, as you can see in the picture; it was a more significant stretch than the picture. I am apprehensive that all that pressure will change my nose shape and affect the final results. It has been three months since the surgery. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There seems to be swelling on your nose. Since it has already been three months post-surgery, I don’t think there will be any deformity, but it depends on how hard the injury was. The picture looks normal (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity).

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Hello,

No, I do not think it should affect the nose shape. Since it was a minor injury, it should not affect the final results. Ideally, the final results take six to nine months to show up after rhinoplasty.

Thank you.
