If i get hit in the nose after rhinoplasty will the cartilage shift?

It could: You should avoid contact sports for at least 6 weeks after a rhinoplasty. After that your nose has regained its strength. Certainly a strong blow to the nose can fracture it after that.

Maybe: Early on your nose is healing and you should avoid trauma to your nose-- ideally for at least 6 months. Any trauma to the nose can create a visible asymmetry to the nose.
