I had my cast on for a week then when I got the cast off the doctor had taped the nose. I had removed the tape he put on after 3 days because it was starting to get gross and peel off. I went and got paper tape to apply it myself the same way the doctor did but I only applied it at night since the tape I bought really wasn't sticking too well. Will this affect my final results? My doctor will not answer my questions or make post op appointments with me I really need help.
