Today, we will be doing a Q&A on the topic:

Why do I need to wear a splint after rhinoplasty?

​

Why do I need to wear a splint after rhinoplasty?

Because the inside of the nose has been extensively dissected, even a small amount of bleeding

can cause blood to pool across the entire dissected area, so a splint is applied to provide compression.

Such bleeding or hematomas can create a lot of scar tissue in the long run and induce contracture, so they must be prevented as much as possible.

Additionally, if an external impact occurs before the implant or cartilage has settled into place, it can shift or bend.

Therefore, the splint is also necessary to protect the nose and prevent its shape from changing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it essential to wear a splint after nose surgery?

Yes, it is essential to wear it to prevent bleeding and protect the shape of your nose. During surgery, the inside of the nose is widely dissected, so compression is needed to prevent blood from accumulating, and it prevents the nose from bending due to external impact before the implant settles.

How does the splint prevent blood from accumulating?

The splint firmly compresses the surgical site to prevent bleeding. Since the inside of the nose is extensively dissected, even a small amount of bleeding can cause blood to accumulate throughout, so compression hemostasis through a splint is very important in preventing hematoma.

What side effects can occur if blood accumulates after nose surgery?

In the long term, a lot of scar tissue can form, and contracture can be induced. If bleeding or hematoma occurs at the surgical site, it can lead to serious side effects that deform the shape of the nose, so it is essential to prevent it as much as possible by wearing a splint.

How can I protect my nose from external impact?

You should wear a splint to protect your nose from physical impact. Immediately after surgery, the implant or cartilage has not yet firmly settled, so even a weak impact can distort or bend the shape, making it necessary to maintain the splint.
