Question: Do you always put a cast on the nose following rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty?
Answer: The answer is – no. I will only place a cast on the nose if I have performed osteotomies (breaking the nose) during the rhinoplasty procedure. The cast, like for a broken arm, is intended to keep the bones in position during the early healing process. Unlike with your arm, however, we take the cast off within the first week. Dr. Hilinski.
