Why Have I Not Been Taped After Rhinoplasty?

User Avatar

When I got my splint off the doctor or nurse did not tape me or instruct me to use tape. All of my friends that have rhinoplasty were instructed to tape.I did not think to ask my doctor because I was in too much shock over the results when i got my splint off. When I realized they did not tape me i was already back in Florida from California (where i got my surgery) and my doctor is very hard to get a hold of. Will not taping my nose affect the results? I feel like they just forgot about me.
