Why nasal cast (external nasal splint) used after rhinoplasty?
Nose aesthetics operations are planned specifically for the person and the nose. The thermoplastic splint is placed over the nose after rhinoplasty operation for many different reasons such as stabilization of the nasal cartilage and bone structures, reduction of nasal edema, protection of the nose against possible traumas.

When nasal cast (external nasal splint) removal after rhinoplasty?
External nasal splints what does it do and why is it used so that may come to mind, with respect to this "I usually prefer to use thermoplastic external nasal splint and held on 7-10 days nose after rhinoplasty surgery is recommended" I want to give the information.
Why nasal cast keep longer than normal after rhinoplasty operation for crooked nose deformity?
Deviated or crooked nose deformity may occur due to the asymmetries in the cartilage structure other than the nasal bone or nasal bone. Occasionally during the growth period, the nasal bone continues to grow in the nose and due to the nose traumas may occur due to curved nose deformities. Generally, cartilage graft applications, different bone fractures (osteotomies) and different suture techniques may be required. So roughly "a larger surgical procedure" is done for correction of crooked nose deformity while nose aesthetic surgeries. For this reason, it is appropriate to hold the extranasal nasal splints on the nose for longer time to stabilize the nose, cartilage grafting and stabilization of bone fins.
As an external nasal splint, it is important to use products made of materials that are modern, easy to apply, easily removable, with low allergy risk, which allow air transfer to the nasal skin. The nose splint is placed on the nasal skin after various aesthetic bands are placed.
Nose deformities can occur in many different ways due to nasal trauma when the nose is developing (in childhood). These deformities may vary according to the severity and severity of the trauma.
How can you keep longer the external nasal splint on the your nose?
The external nasal splint cannot be loosened or dislodged easily (in patients with oily skin and swollen nose, excessive secretion of the skin or edema due to the shrinkage of the nose as a result of the shrinkage of the nose, the external nasal splint spontaneously can be lifted after two weeks):
• do not attempt to displace or shift the nose splint
• avoid contacting the edge of the tape under the nose splint with water, edema gel or any skin cleanser
• avoid accidentally lying on the side or face, causing a nasal trauma or spontaneous fall of the nose splint
• the nose splint can spontaneously vent. In this case, you can paste one or two horizontal patches onto the nose splint.
• modern nose splints generally do not block the air transfer of the skin with the perforated structure.
For this reason, do not worry about the long term stay. If the nasal splint is held for more than 10 days, it may cause itching sensation and the atelier of the anterior east as the fat under the skin will increase. When this feeling occurs when you try to get rid of the feeling of itching by moving your nose to stretch, you can see that the splint is easily coming forward and separated.
Here are the importance of what I recommend to my patients ... Please observe your doctor's recommendations. It was ideal to keep the nose splint for as long as possible after the nasal aesthetic surgery performed for the correction of the twisted nose. However, if the splint falls off spontaneously after 1 week, there is usually no need for re-insertion of the splint.
Longer time keeping of nasal cast can cause skin oil accumulation under the nose tapes!
When the external nasal splint is held on the nose for a long time, the oil of the skin may accumulate under the bands. After the removal of the external nasal splint, natural ocean water sprays can clean with cotton, by squeezing the make-up removal cotton.
