Mark from tape on bridge of the nose post rhinoplasty, will it affect the result?

Asked By:tnk05 in New York, NY

I had a closed septo/rhinoplasty 12 days ago with a bump reduction. My surgeon removed the cast 6 days post-op and applied tape. He then removed the tape 10 days post-op and told me to re apply it the second day, which i did. But now a day after re-taping my nose I felt a slight pressure so I decided to remove the tape and realized that it had left marks on my bridge because it was applied to tightly. Will this cause my bridge to a have a permanent dent? How moldable is my nose at this stage?
