I tape at night, as per Dr's orders, while others I read here tape 24/7. Is it different for open vs closed patients? Why are some ppl told to tape their entire nose, and others to put one strip across the tip/lower bridge?

Answer: Nasal taping I do not think that long term taping offers anything in terms of the long term result. The swelling will go down on its own.

Answer: Taping after Rhinoplasty Probably does very little other than give you something to do while time takes its course. We have not recommended taping noses for many years once the splint is removed. Redrapage of skin takes place in the first few days after surgery and taping immediately after the surgery as well as proper application of the splint are very important. Once the splint is removed then nature takes over.Steroid injections to the supra-tip are sometimes necessary when shrinkage of skin or build up of fibrotic tissue in the supra-tip are a concern in the first 6-9 months post-op.
