What brand of tape do I need after rhinoplasty?

Question

Can someone please tell me a specific name or brand of tape to tape my nose my surgeon is really rude and he won't tell me what type of tape to use but enfold me I needed to do it. And I know it has to be a specific one because if it's too sticky it will lift my skin to much and it will not even work. Please help.

This can be a valuable tool to help reduce swelling and encourage a more even result.  I generally instruct patients to expect to tape at night for about three months--like wearing a retainer after orthodontia.  Micropore is a paper tape--very gentle but not elastic. Blenderm is very useful if you are trying to keep the nose straighter.  It is clear and elastic. Both are products from 3 M and can be found on Amazon

Hi, you can use paper tape or micropore. Its the best option for plastic surgery. Keep good relation with your PS, sometimes Doctors dont want to be rude.Regards
