In what situations do you recommend your patients to tape their noses after rhinoplasty and splint removal. Is this when you perform some specific techniques/changes OR do you ask ALL your patients to tape their nose OR just one with specific skin types? How easy/difficult is for the patient to do this on their own? Would it be better if the patient kept the splint ON for longer instead of taping?

Answer: Rhinoplasty Taping the nose after rhinoplasty can help reduce swelling especially in thick skinned patients. But surgeons will differ in their recommendations . I recommend taping after rhinoplasty more in some patients than others. Some patient find it help and other patients find it does little so I often let the patient decide

Answer: Nasal taping Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. We typically leave the splint on for 5 to 6 days. After removal of the splint, we start night taping for 2 weeks. Then use a combination of night taping and a product called Noseperfect to continue to shape the contour of the nose for another month. I have come up to this routine after many years of performing rhinoplasties and feel that this is the best routine for most patients to abide by and get the best results. Best wishes to you.
