Steroid injections won't help your bulbous tip over a year after rhinoplasty.

Eric M. Joseph, MD answers: Why do I have bulbous tip so long after Rhinoplasty?

Why would my tip become bulbous so long after the Rhinoplasty surgery? My pre-op tip was fine and my post-op tip was fine for the first year or so. Could this be attributed to the normal aging process (I am age 30)? Could it have something to do with the fact that I gained about 10 pounds in the last 2 years? Could steroid injections help, or is it too late? Thank you.

 I see your concern. Is it possible that your tip looks bulbous because there are indentations on each side of the tip? 

If this is the case, you could consider Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty, or a surgical revision rhinoplasty. I've attached a link to my Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty page for your perusal.

Whichever you decide, make sure your doctor is certified and experienced with photos demonstrating favorable results.

I hope this helps, and best regards.
