A: Revision Rhinoplasty

From your photos I am unable to appreciate the issue you mention, but 20 days after any rhinoplasty procedure is too early to make a determination. The best resource is your plastic surgeon and they can tell you more of exactly what is occurring in this area. Time is mandatory in allowing for the swelling to subside before assessing your final outcome.

Best of luck,

A: Taping the Nose Following Rhinoplasty

There may not be much in the way of scientific evidence showing the benefits of taping the nose following rhinoplasty. However, I can say that in my practice I certainly recommend taping in many patients. You should review this recommendation in detail with your rhinoplasty surgeon before doing so. I have attached a link below that discusses taping of the nose following rhinoplasty. I hope you find it helpful.

A: Restricted Medications Prior to Rhinoplasty

Hi there. I have attached a link to our list of restricted medications that we suggest patients stop using 10-14 days prior to their rhinoplasty surgery with us. I hope this helps. Happy healing.
