Pressed too hard taping nose after rhino-septoplasty and developed a bump! Is this permanent? (photos)

It is unlikely that the pressure of applying tape caused the bump. Most likely the tape created a depression in the swollen tissue and this will resolve on its own. Having said this, we always recommend that patients communicate closely with their surgeon and follow their pre and post operative instructions. I'm not sure your surgeon would have recommended that you tape your own nose, had you asked.

Always follow with your surgeon and follow those recommendations.  It is always difficult to assess without the benefit of an exam.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

It is highly unlikely that you did anything to cause the bump on your nose. You're still in the very early healing. After your procedure and almost everything is temporary. Give it time it and it should get better on its own.
