The rhinoplasty cast or tape is usually removed by the surgeons office 1 week after the surgery. The next day some patients may be told to remove the gauze that's in the nostrils but the Doctor will give all of these instructions.
Thanks for your question. The duration that tape is applied for after your rhinoplasty is very dependent on the surgeon. The tape is used to help control swelling post operatively and to help shape the soft tissue coverings of the nose. Most surgeons would keep them on for at least 1 week but there may be times where a longer duration is required. Talk to your surgeon about their preferences.RegardsDr Guy Watts
you should not remove the tape after rhinoplasty until your surgeon removes it for you or you are instructed to do so by your surgeon. In most cases, tape is removed at 6-8 days after surgery. Sometimes replaced.
Tape placed on the nose after rhinoplasty may need to stay there for different lengths of time, depending on the surgeon. I would check with your surgeon to see how long he or she would like you to keep your tape on. I would say in most cases, it most likely would not need to stay on past a week, but it may be different in your particular case.

The primary problem with sneezing after rhinoplasty is that it can push air through your internal nasal incisions, and bacteria can go in with the air and mucous. It is generally safe but best avoided as much as possible. Continue following your surgeons instructions, sneeze or cough with your...
A natural looking rhinoplasty without the overdone look is what you need. This would include removing your nasal home, narrowing the nasal bones slightly as well as refining your large nasal tip. See you very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural looking noses.
After a rhinoplasty, I am imaging that you still have an external splint in place. It would be unlikely that you have severely injured your nose; however, I would relay your concerns to your surgeon who will evaluate you and formulate a plan according to what is necessary. Best wishes!
