What is a nose splint?

This is an artificial material originating from Korea, measuring 6x4x5cm. Made from flexible plastic and ultra-lightweight, the splint can be easily shaped without affecting the newly operated nose. Especially, the splint used at AZ NOSE is ISO 13485 certified, with a surface of hexagonal holes to ensure ventilation and avoid discomfort for the user.

Why do you need a nose splint after surgery?

With over 14 years of experience and more than 40,000 successful rhinoplasty cases, the team at AZ NOSE considers nose splints essential because they can:

  • Prevent shifting of the nasal bridge

After surgery, the artificial bridge needs to be firmly splinted to shape the nose in the desired position and minimize the risk of shifting. Therefore, using a nose splint after surgery is extremely important.

Mr. P.T. from Can Tho, who had a revision rhinoplasty at AZ NOSE in 2018, shared: “Previously, I had my nose revised three times, but none of those times involved proper splinting, so my nose remained crooked. When I had my fourth surgery at AZ NOSE, I was surprised by how meticulously the nose was splinted. Following the doctor’s advice for the first four days, by day ten my nose had settled perfectly with no more crookedness.”

  • Shorten healing time

Dr. CKI. Hoang Nhung explained: “During nose shaping, some intervention is inevitable, causing minor bleeding and fluid. Splinting applies gentle pressure on tissues and blood vessels, not only reducing swelling and bruising but also helping the nose settle into shape faster.”

“I didn’t expect rhinoplasty to be so easy. My face only swelled slightly. By the fourth day when the splint was removed, I was surprised my nose had no bruising and I was already 60% satisfied,” shared Ms. C.V. from Long An after her procedure at AZ NOSE.

  • Provide psychological comfort for customers

In the early days after surgery, some customers may feel uneasy and worry about their nose shifting, which can cause inconvenience in daily life. Splinting the nose provides reassurance and allows more comfort during daily activities, especially when lying sideways. Dr. CKI. Dinh Xuan Son Tung emphasized: “The nose splints at AZ NOSE are applied neatly by our nursing team, so they do not interfere with the patient.”

“In the first few hours after surgery, I wasn’t used to the splint, but later it felt normal. While wearing it, I still went to school, ate out with friends, and didn’t feel embarrassed since cosmetic surgery is quite common now,” added student M.H. from HCMC.

Based on these benefits, AZ NOSE has incorporated nose splints into the “8 golden days” post-op care program to help customers quickly achieve their ideal nose shape.

Nose splint procedure at AZ NOSE

Typically, the splint is removed on the fourth day after surgery, but depending on the individual’s condition, the doctor may extend splinting for 2 to 4 more days. If a customer cannot come to AZ NOSE, they may visit a nearby medical facility or remove the splint at home following instructions. However, it is recommended to schedule a follow-up at AZ NOSE as soon as possible.

At AZ NOSE, the splinting and removal process is performed professionally by the nursing team, quickly and painlessly, following this procedure:

.Step 1: Immerse the nose splint in warm water at 70–80°C for 10–15 seconds to achieve the right flexibility.

Step 2: Dry the splint with a clean towel. The nurse ensures the temperature is safe to prevent burns.
Step 3: Place the splint over the nasal bridge, cover with a thin layer of gauze, and gently press along the folds around the nasal bones.
Step 4: Use 3M Micropore tape to secure the splint.
