Asked By:Energetic789335 in Hope Island, Queensland, Australia

Hello There, I’m now 9 months since my rhinoplasty was done in Turkey my swelling and numbness hasn’t gone down I had a zoom call with my doctor and he said I need kenacort steroid injection to help with the swelling. Will this help? As I also can’t breathe properly still after the surgery and no plastic surgeon in Queensland will give me this steroid injection I’ve called everyone. Please help
