Taping nose a month post op revision rhinoplasty?

ElinoorJan 2, 2014
I had taped my nose maximum 2 weeks post op revision rhinoplasty. My surgeon wanted to remove it a week post op. but I asked him to keep it longer and he agreed to leave it for 1 more week, then I removed it after 2 weeks bcuz the doctor recommended me not to tape it longer and that skin need to breath.So is it ok to tape it?Or No need since my revision duration was an hour and work done was simple in procedure just bump had been removed and tip had lifted up.That's all. So do i need to tape it?
