Can I remove a small bump on the nose by taping? (photos)

Question

I am afraid a bump formed on the nose that was not present immediately after rhinoplasty. When I put on the tape in one way, the bump becomes clear, however when I apply it in a certain manner, it completely disappears. It's 7 days after surgery; will taping with much pressure eliminate the bump or will it worsen it?

This is likely just swelling so try not to worry.  I would discuss these concerns with your surgeon and get his or her recommendations.  I think you will have a nice result in the end.  Best wishes.
