10 Months Post-Op - Steroid Injection? I still have a stiffness and tenderness to my nose.

Asked By:kitteh2 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Hi, I had an open septo-rhinoplasty in November 2020, with a significant amount of tip reconstruction. Now, ten months later, I still have a stiffness and tenderness to my nose, especially within the tip region. There is still a substantial amount of edema that persists, and I know this by how my nose appears in the morning versus at night. There is a stark contrast in terms of its size. At this point, should I still consider having a steroid injection? Or will it be ineffective?
