A: Plastic in nose

After a septoplasty, it is common for the surgeon to insert splints inside the nose to fit on both sides of the septum. These are made of silastic which is a plastic-like material. These are usually left in for 5-7 days and then are removed. If yo are having bleeding and pain, try to get in to see your surgeon .

Doctor Recommendation for Septorhinoplasty in San Francisco I am looking for specific name recommendations of facial and plastic surgeons practicing in the Bay Area who are especially skilled in primary septorhinoplasty. Specifically, MD's who are known to specialize in rhinoplasty and/or present frequently on this subject at meetings. I've heard about Brunno Ristow who is a member of the Rhinoplasty Society but I'm looking for other names as well to meet with. Thanks for your input!
