How is cast, stitch, and splint removal after a rhinoplasty?

Asked By:maylin.isabella in Sacramento, CA

I get my cast removed tomorrow exactly 1 week after my surgery and although I've seen some videos I don't know what to expect. I have stitches on the incision between my nostrils and then 2 splints inside my nose. Will they hurt to get removed? If so, what type of pain is it?
