Signs of a damaged nosed

I am 6 weeks post surgery. I totally get that you must do your best to avoid significant trauma to the nose. However, at what point should one be concerned that they have caused damage to the nose i.e bleeding, disfigurement,.. If there is NO bleeding or disfigurement does that mean the nose has NOT been damaged? or could it STILL be damaged and still not bleed or have any disfigurement

Procedure: Rhinoplasty
Location: Wolverhampton, E - United Kingdom

Thank you for sharing your question. It is unlikely the accidental hit to the forehead will have any impact to your rhinoplasty result. Hope this helps.

Without a nose bleed, deforming injury to your nose did not happen.
