So what exactly goes in and on your nose after rhinoplasty?
1. External cast: the external blue cast will be molded over the nose immediately after surgery to maintain nasal bones in their new position. Kind of like a helmet to protect and secure!
2. Internal cast: also known as Silastic, is a bendable, flexible plastic nasal stent used to protect and secure the internal structure of your nose.
3. Nasal packing: After surgery, nasal packing will be inserted to soak up any immediate discharge, blood, Mucous, etc. following surgery
4. Stitches: the blue stitches will be removed on the 7th day post-op along the columella and possible alar region. White dissolvable stitches will be used along the inner inside of the nose; they will dissolve within the next few weeks
5. Depending on what the doctor recommends, many of few options can be considered for bridge augmentation: silicone, goretex, rib cartilage, donated rib cartilage, and/or fascia graft. Fat or filler can be another option as well.
