Would Kenalog shots after 3rd rhinoplasty 2.5 years ago bring down swelling?

Asked By:amanda.mmm in Atlanta, Georgia

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.
