Is It Too Soon to Remove the Splint Just 4 Days After Surgery?

August 6, 2011
Asked By:GoodGolly

I've recently had septorhinoplasty. I trust my doctor completely, he has plenty of experience and good reviews.. I had my surgery on the 4th and the splints supposed to be removed on the 8th. Is this too soon? I only ask because I've read plenty about the surgery before having it, and it surprises me that it's going to be done this soon. Should I be worried?
