Asked By:Million2025

Is it strange that my doctor did not remove my cast a week later ( his nurse did) and didn’t see me till 6 weeks later for the first time after surgery? My nose has not turned out well and im close to a year post op. I am thinking back on all the red flags before and after surgery and am realizing that he did not remove my cast or speak to me. I thought it was routine but none of my friends had that experience. No photos either.

Answer: For the surgeon to not remove the cast and not see you for six weeks is not a typical routine.
