Will Taping my Nose Help Raise the Tip Post-rhinoplasty? (photo)

Gwendolyn1989
Hi, I had revision rhinoplasty 10 days ago, and while I realize that I still have some swelling, I'm worried about the height of my tip. I have read a bit online about taping your nose post-rhinoplasty to help "shape it", so I am wondering if doing this would help me accomplish my goal. I'm thinking of taping the tip up for ~12 hours a day (8 spent sleeping). Will this help? I have also attached a photo; the 'before' being my nose today, and the 'after' what I would like it to look like. Thanks.
