I had a septo rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago and now I tape my nose daily. I wanted to know why should I tape my nose daily and after I remove the tape to change it, should I clean on my nose with anything ? And if yes what should I clean it with ? Thanks

Answer: Rhinoplasty post-op care
I usually just splint the nose for one week and do not put anything else on it afterwards. Every doctor is a bit different.

Answer: Taping after rhinoplasty
Almost all rhinoplasties have tape and a splint applied for usually one week. This is to keep the skin and soft tissues applied to the new nose structure underneath as the inevitable swelling occurs after the operation. This swelling is generally worst two days out, and settles rapidly at about day five or so after the operation.
Thus there seems little point in taping a nose after one week.
