Hello, I got a rhinoplasty in Dec 2020 which resulted in a bony calleous. My Dr told me multiple times when I brought it up as a concern that it would go away and did not give many details other than that. 4 years later it is still here! he offered a revision to remove the callous, however, it is not feasible for me right now. I am wondering if a provider would know if taping the callous at night time would help? Or would this make it worse?
Hello doctors I'm doing a rhinoplasty soon and wanted to ask is it necessary to tape 24/7 after the first week ? And for a month? Can I tape just at night before going to bed and remove it in the morning before going to work? And one more thing is there any other way than taping can help? Thank you very much doctors
i a septorhinoplasty back in July of 2023. I had asked my surgeon so straighten my nose and make my side profile more straight as I had a down shape with a hump side profile. My nose wasnt terrible prior to my surgery I actually liked it I just wants those imperfections fixed. Its been 7 months now and my nose has no structur of definition on the bridge my tip is huge as well as my nose being wider than its orginal shape. I was told no to taping but 5 months in I began to with permission .
I had a rhinoplasty 8 months ago and feel that the tip of my nose is still quite swollen. If I tape my nose overnight though, my nose looks much more defined in the morning. Is this a temporary result due to manipulation of cartilage and skin or is it due to the swelling being subsided temporarily? Thank you
Hello, I had open rhinoplasty on my nose 6 months ago. I still tape every night and leave it on whilst I sleep. When I wake up in the morning and remove the tape, my nose looks very slim and I like it. But after maybe a few hours the slimming goes away. My question - why does my nose look slimmer after taping - is this (I sure hope so!) a sign of what my nose will look like when it is completely healed? Thank you.
I had a rhinoplasty over 1.5 year ago. My surgeon never instructed me to tape my nose or to massage and I can still see the impressions on my nose when I touch it. My nose tip also seems lower. Would taping or massage help? Should of my surgeon suggested those options?
I'm 9 days post-op, & my surgeon instructed me to tape my nose at night to reduce swelling. However, I don't notice a difference in swelling with taping vs. not taping, even with firmly applied pressure. Removing the tape gently & slowly still pulls & lifts the skin slightly and I believe it undoes all the compression the tape may have done. Taking that into account, does taping the nose have any actual benefit? I've read that scar tissue can form in the absence of taping. What's your opinion?
I was advised to wait to tape my nose following cast removal. At 1- month post-op, doctor said to start taping & to do it for 6 months. I'm nervous that my taping may hurt nose since it is still very sensitive with throbbing & pressure. My nasal bones were broken and I had alloderm. Is taping beneficial at this 1-month point? Is it common or not unusual to tape the nose for 6 months of time? Is it possible for a patient to cause asymmetry by taping improperly or taping in of itself?
In what situations do you recommend your patients to tape their noses after rhinoplasty and splint removal. Is this when you perform some specific techniques/changes OR do you ask ALL your patients to tape their nose OR just one with specific skin types? How easy/difficult is for the patient to do this on their own? Would it be better if the patient kept the splint ON for longer instead of taping?
