Abstract
The authors report their experience of 2 years (43 patients) using a customized splint consists of thermoplastic which is molded on the new nose after rhinoplasty, according to a process comparable to that used by dentists to make the gutters. This splint will be applied several weeks to guide healing in a desired direction. The molding of the nose can be re-sculpted to guide the scarring to a better result. Lightweight, washable, discreet, our splint works to the advantage to be worn without discomfort for several weeks in order to improve the efficiency of contention.
