Kenalog 10 months after primary rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Asked By:Simubiza in Kfar Adumim, South District, Israel
Hi, I am 38 and had my surgery 10 months ago. My tip area looks full, is too long and bulbous. I don't think it's swelling anymore, but is probably scar tissue as it is hard and not liquidy. My ENT surgeon refuses to do a secondary on me and very reluctantly agreed to a kenalog shot. My questions: 1. How prevalent are the risks from it? I find no info online. 2. If it's indeed scar tissue and not swelling, should I even get it? 3. In your opinion, would a secondary help here?
