Can tape prevent tip to droop after rhinoplasty?

Cocoroco
I just had a closed rhinoplasty 9 days ago. I had a hanging columella witch has been reduced and my tip was slightly lifted. I am very pleased with the result so far, thou I wish he would have taken a bit more away from the columella area. After reading online it seems my tip will droop during the healing period and I really would prefer it staying the way it is now. My question: will taping my nose under the columella area help my tip stay where it is and prevent the columella to go back down?
