I had a revision rhinoplasty done 6 months ago. When I first got my cast off I LOVED it. My nose started to swell so my doctor told me to tape for a month straight, but I still tape my nose every night. My nose looks amazing when I take my tape off in the morning, but swells as the day goes on. My nose has now formed some weird irregularities. Not sure if its swelling. If I don't tape it & sleep it's too swollen in the morning. My dad says it is bcuz I am taping and ruining my nose. Can that be?
