After a rhinoplasty, splints or bandages are typically placed on the nose to protect and support the newly reshaped structure. The specific duration for wearing these splints or bandages can vary depending on the surgical technique and individual healing factors. Typically, they are removed within 7 to 10 days following the surgery. However, it’s important to note that every patient heals at their own pace, and your surgeon will determine the appropriate timing for removing the splints or bandages during your follow-up appointments. This is done to ensure the best possible outcome and to allow your nose to heal properly. Throughout your recovery process, your surgeon will closely monitor your progress, provide guidance on post-operative care, and address any concerns or questions you may have.
