I had rev rhino w/ a trimmed Medpor implant/tip elevation/narrowing. At 6 wks, the 1st day I saw the final shape (in the evening, when the nose is usually unswollen),I sustained a minor injury.The nose admittedly was warm/painful/swollen,but went back to normal color in a week. Now I am 3 months post op & the nose is twice the size it was that day, is hard, & bulbous around implant. Saw surgeon; implant is intact/grown in, but he said it is too dangerous to give kenalog. Advice for best outcome?
