How to hide nose splint after Rhinoplasty?

newhuskyMay 27, 2015
I'm getting a nose job in the summer. I will most likely (I assume) have a splint/cast over my nose. How can I hide this for the trip back home after the Dr's? Which would be about half an hour. Can I remove it for that time period?

It is very important to have objective analysis of a nose. The best way is to look at standardized photographs from frontal (straight), 3/4 partial sides and lateral photographs. Looking in the mirror is not as accurate as mirrors can distort images at times. RegardsDr. J
