Wouldn't think so: This is not an unusual event or one likely to do harm. The area would bleed with any tissue injury. The nose is pretty plastic at that age. I would try to relax & just give cuddles.

Nose: If baby is comfortable and there is no bleeding, she is likely fine. Aspirators are designed not to hurt infants and this sounds like typical use.
