Should I put the splint on for 2 months after rhinoplasty?

I encourage you to check with your plastic surgeon to make sure that you understood his or her post-operative instructions. Typically, I don't require that any of my rhinoplasty patients wear the splint longer than one week. Occasionally, I will have them wear steri-tapes on the nose the following week to help control swelling. Prolonged use of the splint holds no value after the first 7-10 days, because the nasal bone and cartilage are already relatively stable by this time.

The splint after rhinoplasty generally serves two purposes.  It limits the swelling and it protects the bones which are often reset during a rhinoplasty.  Typically splints are placed for one week after surgery although this does not encompass the total time needed for bone fixation.  The skin usually will not allow the prolonged use of a splint for much longer than a week as the splint will loosen with time.  Check with your surgeon to verify that they said two months.   

Typically, I keep the splint on for 1 week and then ask patients to wear it at night only for another 1-2 weeks as an added reminder to not roll over in the middle of the night and roll onto your nose.  2 months is a little excessive, but even if you had worn if for that period it shouldn't alter the final result....it would just be an imposition for a long time.  Hope that helps.
