Taping after Rhinoplasty for Asian Noses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Taping is considered the main support for newly modified structures of nose after rhinoplasty, long after other splints like thermoplastic or plaster casts have been removed a few days post op. Usually the patient is instructed to personally change the tapes after the first few sessions of being visited by the rhinosurgeon. Taping can potentially be harmful if applied and removed improperly. Examples are detaching the skin from nasal framework during pulling off the tape and consequent subcutaneous bleeding, or ischemic injury in nasal soft tissue triangle. We experienced the latter complication in two of our rhinoplasty Asian patients. (Fig 2).
