Are the results after nose taping what my nose will look like once swelling is gone? (Photo)

Asked By:jdw01102 in Beverly Hills, California

I had a rhinoplasty 8 months ago and feel that the tip of my nose is still quite swollen. If I tape my nose overnight though, my nose looks much more defined in the morning. Is this a temporary result due to manipulation of cartilage and skin or is it due to the swelling being subsided temporarily? Thank you
