Did Lack of Cast on Nose Cause Bridge to Widen?

4828anon
Could the position of the bones have been compromised by the absence of cast? I had a rhino/septoplasty 5 weeks ago. The width of the bridge have significantly increased postop despite the fact that my doctor moved the bones closer. Is it possible that the bones did not maintain their new position as I have not been fitted with a cast, only tape removed after 4 days?
