Will Taping Help Upturned Nose After Rhinoplasty?

2502anon
It is 1 week after my rhinoplasty procedure and my nose looks too upturned. I used to have a very straight, pointing downward nose when I smile and my doctor suggested loosening up the muscle under my lip. I know swelling should reduce but it still seems like a big overcorrection to me. Would taping it down help in the first few weeks?
