Will the end product of my nose look the same as it does after it has been taped?

September 16, 2015
Asked By:Nicole_091 in Manhattan, NY

I am two and a half months post-opp from a rhinoplasty. My nose is still very swollen at the tip and looks quite bulbous (which I am not happy about). However, when I tape my nose before I sleep and remove the taping in the morning , my nose looks very slim and less bulbous. I was wondering if the end product of my nose will look similar to how my nose does after I have taped it, or am I being too optimistic?
