Adhesive from taping my nose after rhinoplasty is torture for my skin! Any suggestions?

May 30, 2015
Asked By:BananaAnna777 in Bellevue, WA

My surgeon wanted me to tape my nose for one month after cast removal. But the adhesive from the tape is absolutely hating my skin! :-( They did say I could skip a few days so I did, but I have the same experience every time I tape it. I have tried putting on moisturizers and oils beforehand, and using rubbing alcohol to try to scrub the adhesive off after. It just clumps onto my skin and will not let go like super glue! Any suggestions on how to make this experience go better?

Upper Nasal bones. Is it possible to re-widen the upper nasal area?
Mark D. Wigod, MD says:

The dorsum, or spine of the nose, may be widened if it is too narrow naturally or secondary to surgery.  The dorsum may  need to be taken down (like taking the top off of a mountain) and this is sometimes enough to give a wider appearance.  If not, the nasal bones can be out...
