Steroid injections in columella?

Question

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?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Steroid injections in the columella?  return to your surgeon for advice since the firm this may be caused by a cartilage strut. It is not advisable to have steroids injected in this area.

Andre Aboolian, MD · Answer

You should be 100% healed by now and steroid injection in the columella is not normal to do...most likely it is a cartilage problem that needs to be revised.  Speak to your surgeon please.
