I live in London and planning to get a rhinoplasty in a couple of months to fix my bulbous tip. From watching videos and researching, I know that if my nose doesnt heal properly due to scar tissue I would need kenalog shots. Would I be charged for those shots?
I had a rhinoplasty about 6 months ago and notice that my nose is still a little upturned and looks like its forming polly beak deformity. I just had a Kenalog injection for allergies on my hip/butt area. Will this help with the inflammation and polly beak deformity on my nose? Update: Additional photos added
Hi there, I am a 22 year old female. I had my rhinoplasty august of 2022. My process for rhinoplasty was good at the start, 6 months after my rhinoplasty I had little to no swelling and my nose looked amazing. I have fairly thick skin prior to my rhinoplasty. at 14 months post op i got hit in the face with a soccer ball. my nose has been swelling since then some days more than others. Will Kenalog injections help? I am so sad there was no swelling before, i loved my nose.
Im 7 months post primary rhinoplasty. I still have quite a bit of swelling, and my surgeon said he might give me a kenalog injection in 5 months to help with the swelling. However, I just started taking Accutane for my skin and will be on it for 8-12 months. Could I still get the kenalog injection even though Im on Accutane? Would Accutane affect the efficacy or safety of kenalog injections?
It's been a little over a year since my rhinoplasty. My tip was still swollen and had scar tissue on one side, causing it to look like a ball under the skin. I recently had Kenalog injections on that side, and it seems to be diminishing. Can Kenalog can also be injected on the bridge of the nose ? When I stretch the skin back, it looks a lot better. I'm not sure if there is excess scar tissue. Photo w towel on my head is one week after injection , the rest are before injection. Thx (:
Hello! Im five months post op from an open rhinoplasty I had done in Istanbul. While I love my new nose, as the swelling was going down I noticed a spot of hypopigmentation and bumps along my bridge about two months ago. I consulted with my surgeon and asked him if the hypopigmentation was caused by the kenalog injection I received. He said no because they dont inject in that region, but I believe that did. I was advised to visit dermatology in two months. Will this go away on its own??
My rhino is a disaster. My nose had 3 Kenalog injections, in months that followed the surgery. Since then, my nose has lost any refinement & is so swollen! I do Not wear glasses and have never bumped it or hit it. Why would I have a dark line across the middle? Bone issues? Necrosis? Nothing makes it go away. Besides the aesthetic failure, is there something else that is going on?
I had a rhinoplasty 18 months ago. The nose looked perfect five months ago, but I noticed some reoccurring swelling recently at the tip. I reached out to my original surgeon and he wants to charge me a lot for the appointment and shots. I found another surgeon who's also very qualified willing to charge me a more reasonable amount. I know primary surgeon is best, but I was wondering if it's still a good idea to see the other qualified surgeon for evaluation and/or kenalog?
I am considering getting a closed rhinoplasty and am nervous about the potential for scar tissue build up after the surgery and requiring Kenolog shots to reduce this. Wondering if this is something that ONLY happens with an open rhino or is it more dependent on the person's skin/how they react to the surgery? Also, would the surgeon charge for these shots if they are necessary?
I went in a year ago for a rhinoplasty and now my tip is bigger and my nose more masculine than prior. I simply wanted tip refinement, Ive had several rounds of kenalog shots they seem to help somewhat but then in 3 months Im back to the same place. Also Im not over the moon even with the kenalog shot. Is this still swelling Im so worried I ruined my face. First pic is prior rhinoplasty second is 11 months post.
