dear Flavio,
I would certainly suggest you try using this tape application. I have used it in a number of cases and swelling and pain diminished rapidly.
A number of case studies have been published on using tape application after surgery....... and some are even in Italian

You can use the fan shape as you have shown us in the photo but there are more ways.
I do not have any experience using David Blow's technique taping on the MEL's.
Will try to attach two pictures of tape applications I have used in total knee patients.
Am finding that I have no idea how to do this. Will try to figure this out.

You will have to be a little patient with me.
