Will steroid injections fix my retracted columella? (photos)

March 4, 2014
Asked By:Chic1995 in London, GB

i had open rhinoplasty 3.5 months ago.i had my coluemella over projected, bump removed & a spreader graft placed. but my columella looks too tucked in as its placed higher than my nostrils, looking flared.i was wondering if its due to swelling & if it'll drop overtime as its still hard. if not will steroid injections help to bring it down?i dont want to have a revision so i wanted to know if there are alternatives.my nose is also wide & bulbous & i wanted to know if it'll get defined overtime?
