In most cases, nasal packing is not necessary after rhinoplasty. However, your surgeon may decide to place small nasal splints or soft silicone sheets inside your nose to support the nasal structures during the initial healing phase. This is typically removed within a week or two after surgery, and your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how to manage the post-operative care and follow-up appointments.
