I went to a diff plastic surgeon looking to refine my nose tip. He said most of the cartilage from my tip was taken out already, it is mostly thick skin left b/c I'm thick skinned (Asian w/ oily skin, larger pores). He recommended Kenalog injections to thin the tip out. But after researching, it seems that these injections are used to decrease scar tissue/swelling within a year after rhinoplasty. So I'm wondering if Kenalog injections could be used to thin out the thick skin in the nose tip?
