Cast on nose is loose and moves after rhinoplasty?

vanrhinoNov 9, 2017
I had open rhinoplasty today, and when I got home I noticed that the cast was loose and would lift from one side If I moved my head side to side. Is this supposed to happen or should I get it replaced?

Metal piercings are risk factors for skin burn when cauterization device is used during surgery. This could occur even at distant sites even though with lower risk if further away.

 Smoking of any kind can be detrimental to the healing processes in the nose or the body for any type of cosmetic surgery, including a rhinoplasty. In our practice, we perform rhinoplasty under general anesthesia with a board-certified physician anesthesiologist for patient safety and comfort.

Ethnic rhinoplasty surgery invites three surgical challenges - thicker skin, a shorter septum, or a small bridge size. RealSelf is a good place to look for qualified surgeons. Check the doctor's before and after gallery to see their results with patients of different ethnic backgrounds...
