I had secondary rhinoplasty seven months ago. It was "open" and was all tip work. I understand that both of these things contribute to prolonged swelling. If I "tape" my nose while I sleep, in the morning, my nose is significantly smaller . However, within an hour it swells up again. My two questions: Will the nose I see after I remove the tape in the mornings be the nose that I see when all the swelling subsides? Also, is it pointless to tape after seven months? Thank you.
