9 months post op . I feel there . is a lot of scar tissue at the top area which makes my nose looks bigger wider and also longer . My cast off results were perfect and also a amonth post op . And after everything changed . and went downhill . I see inverted V deformity Cartilage drifted Droppy tip( main concern) Scar tissue I cant find Dr in Melbourne who does kenalog
I had a rhino 10/2020 and a revision 12/21. My doctor is great and I really trust her I just dont know if its not possible to achieve the results I want, or if my questions and concerns are valid. Im looking for outside opinions :) My bulbous tip/beak never shrunk post-op, despite many rounds of kenalog. I also have these wings or ridges on the sides of my nose that popped up after my first and now second procedure. In your opinion, what is happening here?
I had my 3rd rhinoplasty in August 2021. The first 6 months were fine. After this, a kenalog shot left a bump on the tip. My collumella also began to drop. An in office procedure to trim the collumella was performed in office in November 2022. It has come back again. What can i do?
Would getting steroid shots have any effect on bringing down the swelling in my nose 2.5 years after my third rhinoplasty? I had my first and second rhinoplasties within a year of each other and the swelling went down within a year after both surgeries. I had my third rhinoplasty 2.5 years ago ( with a 5 year gap from the second rhinoplasty )and my nose is a lot wider and the tip is a lot more bolbous than it was before the third surgery. The doctor has recommended I take accutane.
I had a rhinoplasty and received two kenalog shots during the recovery period. The shots I think left these depressions in the side of my nose now I feel like my entire rhinoplasty was ruined from this dumb shot :( is there any way to fix this? My skin thinned out a lot and the depressions are visible and palpable :(
I had a revision rhinoplasty in Oct 21 and during my 2-mth follow up I had kenalog 10 injected in to the sides of my nose. After developing indentations as a result, my surgeon and I opted to fill it with Voluma in Dec 21. I would like to dissolve it now because it's adding so much width to my nose, I'm afraid of ruining the healing process of my rhino as well as risk of indentation with hylauonidaise. If I wait it out, I fear that parts of it may never fully dissolve or develop into scar tissue
I had two pervious rhinoplasties and the right side of my nose seems to have collapsed. The left side has two indents from what seems to be th kenalog injection. I'm two years post op from my revision surgery. I'm so disappointed. I went to a very well known rhinoplasty surgeon. What do I need to do to fix this? Uneven nostrils as well.
I had my second rhinoplasty about 2 years ago and the dr injected me with a steroid shot on both sides of the nose to reduce scar tissue buildup. Shortly after I started getting bumps and indentations, also rough skin. Nothing was done, and now I am left feeling very self-conscious about them because they are very noticeable. I don't want another rhinoplasty but will do whatever is best. Thanks!
My surgeon refuses to use kenalog injections. I'm most comfortable with a revision surgeon who absolutely refuses to use kenalog injections and never bothered to learn to use them in his years of practice. He also lives in another state. Why can't I get a another surgeon to administer kenalog for me, so long as they know what's in my nose and my date of surgery? How long would I use a medrol dosepak as a substitute for this?
I'm considering a surgeon who refuses to use it b/c of the risks of indentation after rhino. I would be a revision patient with thick skin and a huge amount of scar tissue. Does kenalog have a big impact on the final result, assuming the surgeon did a good job? Why would a surgeon refuse to offer something so important? Can oral steroids (like in a Medrol dose pack) help at all in minimizing scar formation?
