Possible way to thin out thick nasal tip skin in preparation for or after rhinoplasty?

Kenalog injection after rhinoplasty: Kenalog, an injectable form of triamcinolone, is frequently injected into the subcutaneous tissue after nasal surgery to dissolve scar tissue, reduce swelling, and atrophy the subcutaneous tissue and to some extent the skin, to bring more definition to the tip and supra tip area in people with thick skin.

Anti-inflammatory steroids typically do not reduce subcutaneous fat. This can happen, though it is a fairly unusual and often severe side effect that is highly undesirable. Steroids Should not be used to try to reduce subcutaneous fat. If true fat atrophy ensues , the results are usually not at all even and rather devastating. It’s a fairly rare side effect, and when it happens, and the results are often disastrous. I suggest not attempting to reinvent the wheel and let those who have proper training and experience do what has been proven to work. Defatting of nasal skin is best done in conjunction with rhinoplasty surgery.
