It’s been 26 days since my rhinoplasty, almost a month now, but does taping even have any meaning...

If they tell you to keep it on, keep it on. My nasal bridge also gradually rose up? My nose was like that, so when I had revision surgery I kept it taped for quite a long time. After the previous surgery it kept rising. It’s probably scar tissue.

How long did you keep it on? Even after more than a month??

[@] I taped it every day for 2 weeks, and after that they told me not to tape it during daily life, but to tape it after washing up and when sleeping. I think I taped it for about a month total?

[@Nyamnyamnyum] I also taped every day for 2 weeks, and after 2 weeks I taped every day when I was at home and when sleeping (even after week 2, except for a few days, I mostly rested at home, so I had it on almost all day then too). Today marks one month, but does it make sense for them to say I should keep it on as long as possible? How am I supposed to go about daily life at all,, If they explained some reason, I could at least accept it, but no matter how much I search, the only function of taping I can find is hemostasis, so the fact that they keep telling me to continue even after the one-month mark...

[@] For me, it wasn’t hemostasis; scar tissue filled in and caused swelling. In a specific area. Rather than “if you don’t do this, a problem will definitely happen!” I think it’s more that, based on the doctor’s experience, they feel like scar tissue may form there. From my previous surgery experience, I knew I could develop scar tissue in that area, so I just listened. If it’s been a month, it’s not hemostasis. And if it’s skin-colored tape, doesn’t it not show much? I just stuck it on directly and went to work..

[@Nyamnyamnyum] Thank you for replying in detail My job requires me to look at and assist people up close, so it’s hard to work with it on.
