I had a revision rhinoplasty in Oct 21 and during my 2-mth follow up I had kenalog 10 injected in to the sides of my nose. After developing indentations as a result, my surgeon and I opted to fill it with Voluma in Dec 21. I would like to dissolve it now because it's adding so much width to my nose, I'm afraid of ruining the healing process of my rhino as well as risk of indentation with hylauonidaise. If I wait it out, I fear that parts of it may never fully dissolve or develop into scar tissue

Hi @ereeen. Six weeks is very early in your healing process--I recommend waiting a full year to judge your final results. If you are unhappy with the results after 1 year, I recommend considering a revision rhinoplasty.
Best of luck,

Hello. The bump you see can be indeed part of the cartilage graft or just fibrous (scar) tissue from healing that has occurred in that spot. This can be very hard to tell from an examination alone. At 6 months it should have significantly improved. If not, you might benefit from a revision...
