On the night before the nasal splint comes off, many people find it hard to sleep. This is not because of pain, but because they are wondering how their nose will look once the splint is removed the next day, how swollen it will be, and whether the shape they discussed with the surgeon will start to show.<\/p>\n\n
Many people feel this way after rhinoplasty, because day 7 is usually the first time you see your nose after the splint is removed. This is why questions often follow about swelling, the shape and how to care for yourself afterwards.<\/p>\n\n
This article looks at which parts of the nose shape start to show clearly 7 days after rhinoplasty once the splint is removed, which parts still need time for the swelling to go down, and how to care for yourself after splint removal. It is especially relevant if you are planning open rhinoplasty together with an assessment of your nasal structure.<\/p>\n
