Taping nose a month post op revision rhinoplasty?

I have used taping after surgery in some select rhinoplasty
cases. I have found it helpful in the care of rhinoplasties where the nose was
twisted and we straightened it. I am very specific with instructions on how to
tape as I feel that you can create problems if it is done incorrectly. You
could potentially injure the skin if the tape is pulled too tight on the post
rhinoplasty nose that is often numb from the surgery. It is very important get
clearance from your surgeon if taping is safe and recommended in your case. I
think in the long term it will rarely make a difference if you tape a nose
after rhinoplasty or not.



Good
luck, hope this helps.
