Do rhinoplasty steroid injections affect other surgeries?

Hi there! Steroid injections after rhinoplasty tend to be very localized in how they affect swelling. Unlike steroids taken by mouth, ones given at certain areas of the skin via injection don't have a substantial uptake in the blood stream. As for the buccal fat removal, I don't feel this would affect the surgery. Spacing by a week to be careful is a good choice. Hope your procedures go well!

Thank you for your question. Steroid injections for swelling are generally administered by a very fine-tipped needle in order to localize their effects. The goal is for the steroid to only address the swelled area and not other features of the face.
When properly administered, steroid injections should not affect other facial features or hinder the success of other procedures. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon who will take your injections and future cosmetic surgery under consideration.

Small amount of corticosteroids injected in the nose to diminish swelling/scar formation will not affect other procedure done in the face or elsewhere. Good luck.
