How long do results from kenalog injection take to see after rhinoplasty?

Dear lyssa13,Kenalog injections in the nose usually take up to one month before we do another roundThe improvements are slight and usually get better day by dayBest,Nima Shemirani

Usually, the results of kenalog injections are seen in the first week, and often a series of kenalog injections must be administered.  This is usually because the kenalog is diluted in order to avoid adverse complications.  Relay your concerns to your surgeon and they will formulate a plan tailored to your needs.  Good luck!

In general rhinoplasty patients are advised to wait 6-12 months in order to see the final result. With Kenalog, improvement should be noticed in day and can be repeated 2-3 over the course of weeks.

It really depends on what is causing the "swelling".  If it is truely swelling or edema, then the kenalog should work within a few days.  But sometimes kenalog is injected for "scar tissue".  Thinning of this will take weeks to months.  You are still very early in the healing process so proceed cautiously.  Schedule routine follow up with your surgeon for reassurance.  All the Best.

The firmness is going to take at least several months to start softening. The kenalog injection can help this along and address some of the swelling that is present but has its limitations. You should notice a difference from the kenalog injection after about 24-48 hours.
