Tape becoming loose after just 4 days post tip rhinoplasty? Is this a problem?

April 18, 2014
Asked By:Rhinopatient81 in London, UK

I had a revision on my tip 4 days days ago using a closed method. No cast/splint was put on as no bones were broken but I have noticed due to me having extremely oily skin the tape is beginning to peel off and still have another 3 days before I see the nurse. Will it ruin the new structure if it does come off? I can't contact my surgeon as he is away but this tape is really sticky, making my nose tingle and has gone dirty. It needs to come off but don't want my tip to collapse. Thanks
