Nose swelling and scar tissue one year after septoplasty. How can I address this?

March 1, 2023
Asked By:Easygoing624974 in Dallas, Texas

Hi! I had a Septoplasty in March 2022 and my nose has significant scar tissue. I just had my second Kenalog injection but still my nose looks horrible- round and undefined completely different than my original which I was very happy with. I’m concerned my surgeon isn’t giving me enough Kenalog injections given the time that I have had to live with this new nose which was under the impression septoplastys didn’t change your nose! Can I see another surgeon to address this w/o surgery?
