After rhinoplasty, nasal splint or cast application plays a vital role in supporting the newly shaped nose, ensuring stable healing and minimizing post-operative swelling. At Yoskarn Clinic, Bangkok, our experienced surgeon, Dr. Somyos Kunachak, with over 40 years of surgical experience, follows a meticulous approach to ensure both function and aesthetics are perfectly balanced during recovery.
Immediately after surgery, a nasal splint or thermoplastic cast is gently placed over the nose. Its main functions include:
Supporting the nasal structure during the initial healing phase
Preventing accidental movement or trauma
Reducing swelling and maintaining the desired nasal contour
The splint acts as an external “protector,” helping the new bone and cartilage structure settle into the correct alignment.
At Yoskarn Clinic, the application is performed right after the rhinoplasty procedure:
The surgeon carefully shapes a lightweight, medical-grade splint or cast to fit your nose precisely.
It is secured with sterile adhesive strips to maintain gentle yet firm support.
The splint remains in place for 5–7 days, depending on your individual healing response.
Patients are advised to keep the splint dry and clean during the recovery period.
Avoid touching or pressing the nose.
On the follow-up visit, our team carefully removes the cast to assess swelling and alignment.
In some cases, 3D scanning may be used to monitor the nose’s progress and ensure symmetry.
