Steroid injections in columella?

It has been 11 almost 12 months since my rhinoplasty. My columella is still swollen, hard and stiff. Is it possible to get steroid injections in this area, or must I wait for it to heal on its own?

Your nose is not going to change in size or shape with manipulation - rubbing, pulling etc is not going to make a difference. It sounds like you are unhappy with your nose, an consultation with a plastic surgeon would be a helpful thing to do !

Your request would not be covered by insurance as, while it would change your nasal profile, it would not change the fact that sunshine still hits your nasal dorsum and can lead to all those issues you mentioned.  To minimize sun damage to your nose, try Zinc oxide, it's a fantastic sunblock.

Dear rcmecca7If you are having rhinoplasty, a minor one or a major change, keep in mind that you are doing it for one person and one person only. You are having surgery to make the life of the person you see in the mirror, every single day, a little better (or a lot better ;) ). People approach...
