My doctor didn’t use cast or a splint. Is that normal?

Asked By:sherybebe in Staten Island, NY

I had a rehinoplasty last Wed and my doctor didn’t use caste either splint, he instead put some tape on and packing that I was asked to remove the packing myself at home after 24 hours and leave the tape in place until Sat. He also put a strip under the tape. I was advised to leave the strip in place until it falls itself. I removed the packing and my nose looks wider and bigger than before and I noticed my nostril uneven, my nose trend to the right side.. Is that normal? Please advise
