Is it possible that after 1 and 1/2 year’s since my rhinoplasty I’m still developing fibrosis?

Asked By:elainemarley in New York, New York

It seems it’s getting worse, although I’ve had kenalog injections. I’m just wondering for how long can I still develop fibrosis and if I risk having even more if I stop taping or massaging my nose. It’s been all this time and it’s awful I still have to sleep with taping or I’ll have a bigger nose the next day, and it feels it’s getting harder to get it back to normal with massaging.
