Hi,
I recently had revision rhinoplasty 3 months ago and have been healing for the most part well, with obviously the typical "nose days". For the last month though my boyfriend has been staying at mine and has subsequently bumped my nose a few times on accident, not hard, but I have noticed the profile no longer feels smooth and has a few "knots" especially on the right side of the bridge. Last night he bumped me alot harder though, no bleeding but now I'm really worried. When viewed by mirror, my profile has a very slight bump but it feels much larger. But in photos I certainly notice a bump that wasn't there before. My boyfriend of course says he can't see a thing etc, which is a typical male response. So my question is has this happend to anyone else? Have I permanently damaged my nose or is it simply just swelling? I am honestly really upset and depressed about this, this is my second nose job, a closed rhinoplasty to correct a droppy tip (result of 1st surgery) and again to file down a slight bump in my profile that redeveloped. So obviously the bump in my profile really bothers me, and I've been through all this pain and stress, possibly for nothing? I can't help feeling incredibly sad and also although I know it was an accident I am sort of resenting my boyfriend living with me and inturn this whole nose deal is affecting our relationship. If anyone has any advice of how to help my healing or if you've had a similar experience please share, I'd really appreciate it!!!
