Can Taping my Nose Negatively Influence the Recovery?

January 1, 2012
Asked By:rhinoplastyask2011

I've had my rhinoplasty 3 months ago.Unfortunately I'm not happy with the results and it afects me psychologically very much.it's still long time until I can have a revision. I've recently realised that taping my nose(it looks good with tapes)makes me feel much better and makes the waiting much easier.But I don't want to damage my nose more...I would like to know if this could be bad or good for my recovery?I'm taping it exactly the way my doctor told me to do right after i got the cast off.

What is Easier to Fix in Rhinoplasty, A Wide Bridge or a Bulbous Tip?
Oleh Slupchynskyj, MD, FACS (retired) says:

Hi, Usually a low bridge and bulbous tip go hand in hand. What you're describing is a Ethnic rhinoplasty. The bridge is typically augmented with cartilage or other implant material. The bulbous tip is refined by defatting and placement of tip cartilage grafts. Best, Dr.S.
