So I had a Septo/rhinoplasty on Saturday night (48 hours ago). Recovery is going well. The issue is the packing. Silicone Tampons were used and the plastic is really starting to cut into my nostrils. My doctor says he will take them out alongside the cast at 7 days but i am also conscious that the medical practice is short staffed so am wondering if that is their motivation. Does it sound right to have packing kept in the nose for 7 days?
