Can I Have a Shower After Cast Removable?

Question

Ozge Ergun, MD · Answer

Thanks for the question. After a Rhinoplasty surgery you can take a shower after 5-7 days. I wish you all the best.

Gregory Turowski, MD, PhD, FACS · Answer

After the cast gets removed go ahead and take your shower, wash your hair, do not be afraid to let the water run on your nose. Usually patients cannot wait to finally wash without being afraid to wet the cast. Please be careful and gently clean your face and nose area.  After you done pat dry your nose without applying any pressure. You have to remember that it has been only a week since the procedure was done and the healing process will take several weeks. If you have any concerns contact your surgeon and make sure to follow the care instruction given by your office.

My recommendations allow the patient to shower without getting their hair wet starting 1 day postop and can start to wash their hair in the shower at 5 days.

I allow my patients to shower after the outer and inner splints are removed. I can not think of any other reason why you could not. But, always ask your surgeon first.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

It seems like you are referring to the splint used on your nasal dorsum following a rhioplasty.  If this is the case then you are safe taking a shower once it is removed.
