PROCEDURE

Postrhinoplasty taping

Postrhinoplasty taping is commonly applied by rhinoplasty surgeons. Following rhinoplasty the nose is generally taped and a (thermoplastic) nasal cast is applied on top of this to make sure the final form of the nose is protected. Postoperatively, this cast is removed at some point. After this, some of the surgeons prefer to tape the nose with nasal tapes such as Micropore (3M) etc. Postrhinoplasty taping is the term used for this. The nose is (generally) taped horizontally with 1/2 inch wide tapes. This is done superiorly from radix to inferiorly to nasal tip. The idea is to compress the nose and to cover it. The duration of postrhinoplasty taping differs according to the preference of the surgeon and the patient
