Nose Taping to Reduce Scar Tissue and Swelling After Rhinoplasty

Taping of the nose after a rhinoplasty can reduce the space underneath the skin by pushing the skin down onto the new cartilage and bone shape. This will reduce swelling which will then reduce scar tissue after a nosejob. Not every patient needs to tape. Taping of the nose after a nose job is best in patients with thick skin or oily skin or patients with excessive swelling. Taping of the nose helps greatly when partaking in activities that increase swelling such as exercise, flying, being out in the sun or sleeping more flat. All of the above mentioned activities increase swelling and scar tissue thus taping of the nose helps reduce the extra swelling and extra scar tissue that may result from above activities.
