I'm considering this kind of rhinoplasty(as the picture shown) to make my nose thinner. This is a different kind of rhinoplasty from most of the rhinoplasty, so I can't find a lot of information about how to prevent scarring after this kind of rhinoplasty. Beside scar removal creams, how can I prevent scarring? Can I use tape? Thanks.
