Is It Possible to Make a Custom Protective Face Mask for After a Rhinoplasty?

October 10, 2010
Asked By:ayl291 in dc

I had a terribly difficult revision rhinoplasty about seven months ago. It looks great and I am beyond happy with the result but I have become rather paranoid about breaking it or doing any damage. My friend had a custom protective mask made after her surgery so that she could play tennis. I am a sleep walker and sleep roller so I was wondering is there any way to make a custom mask that would protect my nose at night. Please help! Thanks!
