I rarely use tape after the nasal cast is removed, but I feel it serves two purposes: 1) arguably minimizes swelling, 2) it reminds the patient and those around them to be careful in the immediate post-operative period. If a cast is not necessary, I'll leave the tape in place for 7-10 days...
Hello and thank you for your question. I allow my patients to exercise one week after surgery. Of course, let your body guide you. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hello! It appears that you may have wide, or lateralized nasal bones that can be made narrower with osteotomies performed at the time of Rhinoplasty surgery. Be sure to consult with a specialist for this operation and best of luck to you!
