Can I Have a Shower After Cast Removable?

It is reasonable to take a shower after removal of the nasal splint following rhinoplasty. However, do not scrub directly on your nose. If your nose was "broken" with osteotomies, it is important not to place too much pressure on the nose in the first 3 1/2 - 4 weeks.

Best of Luck!

Thanks for the question. After a Rhinoplasty surgery you can take a shower after 5-7 days. I wish you all the best.

After the cast gets removed go ahead and take your shower, wash your hair, do not be afraid to let the water run on your nose. Usually patients cannot wait to finally wash without being afraid to wet the cast. Please be careful and gently clean your face and nose area.  After you done pat dry your nose without applying any pressure. You have to remember that it has been only a week since the procedure was done and the healing process will take several weeks. If you have any concerns contact your surgeon and make sure to follow the care instruction given by your office.
