Rhinoplasty and columella strut
Depending upon what exactly is done, you probably need a splint. Especially if the soft tissue of the nose is elevated off of the framework. If you are recuperating at home with family it will be obvious either way.

Hello,
If you are only having a columellar strut placed, you will usually not need a splint. It would be best for you to speak with your surgeon, as he/she will be able to provide you with advice. Thank you, and I hope this helps.
