Can bones move during rhinoplasty cast removal? (Photos)

Asked By:1276 in red deer AB

I had my cast removed 7 days after. Can the bones be pulled out during this process? Unfortunately my surgeon was pushing very hard on my right side of nose after removing cast. At least, it felt hard. And a pocket of blood began to form and swell. He had to re-cast me. He has never seen this happen before. It looked skinny in original cast and now looks much wider. I hope it is swelling but I'm concerned the bone moved as well. Does this happen?
