My ENT/facial plastic surgeon wants me to wear the splint/cast for 2 weeks! is that too long? I am having a septorhinoplasty done
Answer: Splint/cast for two weeks?
2 weeks is generally the amount of time patients will wear a cast and tape on their nose. A hard cast in generally worn for the first week, followed by brown paper tape the second. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon regarding any specific guidelines they have. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck!

Answer: How long to use splints (internal and external) for rhinoplasty
i generally use internal (not packing) and external splints for one week. if a lot of septal work was done i will use the internal splint for two weeks. but i dont think too weeks is too long for the external splint. however, it might lead to some temporary acne.

Answer: Cast removal after rhinoplasty
We remove the cast after rhinoplasty at 5 or 6 days which is usually all that is necessary. It's also important not to have any packing placed on the inside of the nose since packing is quite painful. Splints are also not required unless there is adhesions in the nose from prior surgery.

Answer: Splinting after surgery
The norm is 1-2 weeks. Wearing the splint for longer definitely will not compromise your result. If this is what your surgeon recommends, I would trust his recommendations.
