If you are saying the swelling is worse than it was right after the surgery, I suggest you see your surgeon. It is possible the implant has moved or you're having some reaction to the silicone.
Kenalog for scar tissue after Revision Rhinoplasty?
I had my second Revision Rhinoplasty 11 months ago. My third surgeon used a silicone graft to recreate my tip. I loved the way my nose looked 6 months post-op, but now I have swelling and I am afraid it may be scar tissue. The tip of my nose is droopy and swollen. Will Kenalog injections work, or are there other options for this? My nose cannot handle another surgery. I am beginning to get very anxious as my nose now is NOT satisfactory. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: Revision Rhinoplasty and kenalog
I would be cautious about injecting kenalog around a silicone implant. You risk the potential for skin atrophy, breakdown, ulceration as well as implant exposure and extrusion. Discuss this with your surgeon and perhaps obtain a second opinion
