What would happen to my nose if I removed my plastic plaster after my Rhinoplasty ?

MATADORZJun 16, 2014
Hello, I have just been discharged from hospital four days ago after a Rhinoplasty surgery. My question is, what will happen if I take off the plaster early on, it came off 3 days ago and my appointment to remove it is next week, how important is it? will my nose go back to its crooked position? Please let me know because I don't want to have another operation.

This appears to  the normal small amount of scabbing we often see. The alar base/sill scars typically heal extremely well. You should not need anything else done.

I can think of no reason why you would need to stop taking Benadryl before a rhinoplasty.  However, you should check with your surgeon if there is any doubt.
