I had a rhinoplasty done 18moths ago, no complications just had steroid shots injected into the tip though. I fly from Australia to London (23hrs) in 3 weeks, should I be taping my nose to reduce swelling for the duration of the flight?

Answer: Long flight 18 months after a rhinoplasty Thank you for your query. Eighteen months after having a rhinoplasty, taping is not needed nor is it likely to help . Please discuss this with your operating surgeon. All the best!

Answer: Nasal taping Hello and thank you for your question. I never recommend taping for any of my patients as it can be damaging to the skin and underlying grafts. Ultimately, you should follow the advice of your surgeon. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
