Is it true that after cast removal your pretty much looking at the end result? After the cast comes off your nose will swell for months, and should technically reduce down to the same size as when you first saw your nose after cast removal?

Answer: Rhinoplasty after splint removal It is true that the splint will control swelling such that as the splint is removed the nose should look quite well. There will be considerable stiffness in the tip, and some swelling up along the bridge, and the 'final' result it not declared until about one year after. But as the splint comes off, we like the nose to look pretty close to what it will be. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Answer: Cast removal and nose
When the cast is removed from your nose, you will have quite a bit of swelling especially in the tip. I would not say that is the final look that you will see in several months. The general shape will be there but it will be swollen.
