I has a rhinoplasty 8 years ago. I had an extremely bulky and bolus tip, and a hanging comuella. My results are naturally, yet dramatic. I had a “ball” left in the tip, as well a little bump that has worsened of the past year. I’m not sure if I have thick skin, I’m Greek and Italian. I would like to avoid surgery, but I’m unsure if a steroid injection would have any impact thus far out. What options do I have ?

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. It appears that what you are seeing is actually a tip graft that has now been malpositioned and the skin above it has thinned. A steroid injection would make that significantly worse. The best option for you is to have a tip rhinoplasty in which the cartilage graft is removed, repurpose, and replaced in a better position. You should be able to have an excellent result. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Nasal Tip Bossae You appear to have nasal tip bossae which are a sequelae of aggressive resection and reshaping of the lower lateral cartilages of the nose. Steroid injections will not help this situation. The resection can also impact nasal function as well.
