Asked By:crookedtrees

I was instructed to remove my rhinoplasty cast on the 7th day after surgery. are there any tips of removing it? will pulling it off hurt my nose? I was told to put vaseline along the bandage edges and take a shower and let the steam losen it abit and then remove it once Iam out? should I peel it off from one side to the other?
