Can you 'over tape' your nose after rhinoplasty? How much tape to use?

December 28, 2018
Asked By:GreenEyes85 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I'm just over 4 months post op and still have a lot of swelling, particularly in the tip of my nose. I received injections a few weeks ago to help with it and my surgeon suggested I keep taping every night. Even though they say it can take time for the injections to work I actually noticed a significant difference in the swelling of the tip of my nose the day after. Now it's seemed to have swelled back up a bit. I do about 3-4 layers of tape every night. Am I over-taping my nose? Thank you.
