Hello, I had open rhinoplasty on my nose 6 months ago. I still tape every night and leave it on whilst I sleep. When I wake up in the morning and remove the tape, my nose looks very slim and I like it. But after maybe a few hours the slimming goes away. My question - why does my nose look slimmer after taping - is this (I sure hope so!) a sign of what my nose will look like when it is completely healed? Thank you.
