Answer: Cast is coming off at 5 days after rhinoplasty (nose Job)
Hello,
It is still soon after your procedure. It is important to discuss any concerns with your surgeon, as he/she knows the extent of your surgery and exactly what was performed. Swelling will last for 18-24 months following rhinoplasty. If it is a major concern, it would be best to seek...
Occasionally, surgeons will make tiny external incisions when performing osteotomies to reposition nasal bones, but never 1.5cm in length. I cannot imagine doing this to drain excess blood caused by some bleeding disorder. I'm sorry I cannot provide any insights or explanations.
Pinching your nasal bones after rhinoplasty may narrow the nose, but it is more likely this will do all the bad things you suggest. Don't continue and consult with your surgeon.
