Removal of Cast 3 Days After Rhinoplasty

June 12, 2009
Asked By:ericaaaa in St. Petersburg, FL

I am 17 and had a Rhinoplasty done 5 days ago. The procedure was open and consisted of removing a dorsal hump and refining the tip. My surgeon removed the cast 3 days after the surgery. Should I be worried as it may be too soon? I currently have no tape nor anything covering my nose.
