External Nasal Splint Looks Crooked. Will This Effect My Results?

Dear Tom,

The external splint could look crooked with bumps but it does not mean that your surgery went bad or being affected because if the crooked external splint.

What is important is that the bones are being held into the correct/desired place by the splint.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your inquiry.

The best of luck to you.

i wouldn't worry about the splint. Sometimes the splints don't look exactly right. Just follow yoru surgeon's instructions and you should be fine.

 Not typically.  The external cast is heated up and then applied to the outside of the nose.  When this is done, it can look lumpy or crooked and does not reflect the look of the nose.
