I had rhinoplasty at 18. I developed scar tissue just above the tip, so I had a revision at 21. Following the revision, the swelling was taking forever to subside, so I began taping from left to right just above my tip b/c I was scared of forming scar tissue again. There is less cartilage on the left side, & more on the right, & I am concerned I caused this from taping w/o consulting my surgeon. My tip also dropped. I am 31 now and get fillers, but did I worsen my result w/the tape?

Hi @Morgansad92. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend seeing an expert revision rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination.

Although the photos are limited, your nose appears reasonably positioned and shaped. It might be best to leave well enough alone and not undergo additional surgery. Best
