What Is a Nasal Splint?

Nasal splints are used in several situations where the nose needs structural support or protection:

• Post-Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping Surgery)
After cosmetic or functional rhinoplasty, an external splint maintains the refined nasal contour while internal splints keep the septum stable.

• Septoplasty
When a deviated septum is surgically corrected to improve breathing, internal splints stabilize the septal cartilage during healing.

• Fracture Repair
If the nasal bones are broken due to sports injuries, accidents, or falls, a splint holds them in place after manual realignment.

• Turbinate Reduction or Sinus Surgery
Some surgeons use internal splints to prevent scar tissue or adhesions inside the nasal passages after these procedures.
By minimizing movement, controlling swelling, and supporting delicate tissues, splints significantly reduce the risk of complications and the need for additional surgeries
