I am due for my 7th injection (kenalog) in december. I told my surgeon I think my nose is wider than pre op - My surgeon said I still have to breathe and kinda laughed My nose still looks swollen and when I touch it, it does feel a little sensitive. He said He will revise is the swelling does not go down but that's for another year so I will be 2 years post op if I get a revision. Please take a look at my pictures before and after op. Post op is at 11 months. Thank you
