I had a rhinoplasty eaxctly a year ago to narrow my tip. I have thick skin, had a lot of swelling and was told it would take a year to see final results. Well, it's been a year now. After 4 rounds of Kenalog injections (6 weeks apart) to try and reduce swelling and a shot of Restylane to try and disguise the deformed columella, this is how it looks now. On top of everything else, I seem to have developed dents from the injections. Any advice very much appreciated. Thank you.
