Should I have been given a cast or splint after septorhinoplasty. No bones were broken. Just reduction of bulbocity and 3 grafts placed in my nose for breathing and support. I was only given gauze to place at nostrils for bleeding. I'm post op 2 days and now seriously scared that they may have forgot to give me a splint!

Answer: Splints are only really necessary when the bones are broken (osteotomies are performed)
