Nose Splint Falling off After Rhinoplasty?

July 9, 2011
Asked By:Christie M. in Los Angeles, CA

I had a primary rhinoplasty surgery this past Tuesday, July 5th. It's now 4 days later (not including day of surgery) And I can see that the tape underneath my splint is beginning to lift up at the edges due to my skin being oily. I'm due to get the splint off in 5 days, but I do not think the splint will stay on that long as my skin is very oily and the tape is already starting to lift up. Is there anyway I can get the splint to stay on longer? I do plan on contacting my PS about it asap.
