Would Not Taping Nose Cause This Permanently? Will It Go Down or Would I Need a Revision Rhinoplasty? (photo)

xmen2000
I had Rhino about 5 months ago and I didn't tape my nose much from what I was told its used to reduce swelling faster. My nose has a scooped out look to it (pic provided). If I tape if it gets completely straight and if I touch it its soft and feels swollen. Is it likely that I would get a complete straight profile after a year? or more likely it will stay the same? Could have this been prevented if I taped my nose? Should I start taping my nose every night? would taping change permanent results
