I’m a 29-year-old male, 6’1” tall and 93 kg. I had a septoplasty two years ago, during which no nasal packing was used. Following the operation, I developed two haematomas around the nasal tip that went undiagnosed for about a week before they were removed. Since then, I’ve developed internal fibrotic tissue within the nasal tip (not on the surface), which has caused persistent swelling and a bulbous appearance. I’m wondering whether Kenalog (triamcinolone) or similar corticosteroid injections could help reduce the internal fibrosis and restore my nasal tip to a more normal size and shape.
