When my splint was removed after rhinoplasty, the doctor or nurse didn't tape my nose or provide any instructions to use tape. All of my friends who had rhinoplasty were instructed to tape their nose. I didn't think to ask my doctor at the time because I was in shock over the results. Now that I realize I wasn't taped, I'm concerned if it will affect the results. It feels like they forgot about me, and it's difficult to reach my doctor since I'm back in Florida after having surgery in California.
Don't be overly concerned about not being taped after your splint removal. Different surgeons have different approaches regarding taping the nose. Some believe it helps with swelling resolution, while others argue that it can cause allergic reactions without significant benefits. This is a debated topic in rhinoplasty. Personally, I make the decision to tape or not based on the individual patient. It's important to note that even if a patient is taped after splint removal, there is still a healing period that requires patience.
The decision to tape the nose after removing the splint depends on both the physician and the patient. It is best to discuss your concerns with your surgeon to address any worries you may have. Taping can be useful for managing residual swelling but may not always be necessary.
Taping after the removal of a splint is not always necessary, and it is unlikely to significantly impact long-term results.
After the removal of the splint post-rhinoplasty, it is not necessary for the nose to be taped. If there are concerns, contacting the surgeon is recommended.
