Will Light Pushing Affect my Rhinoplasty?

January 30, 2011
Asked By:Ark306 in Arkansas City, AR

I had my rhinoplasty one month ago and I'm still taping due to thick skin and swelling. The problem is I have very oily skin so the tape starts to lose its adhesion by the end of the day. I've been lightly pushing to keep the tape on. There is absolutely no pain when I do this but I just wanted to know whether this would affect the healing of the bones or increase the swelling. thanks
