Do Kenalog injections make that big of a difference in the final result? The surgeon refuses to administer them.

Asked By:greyghost in New York, New York

I'm considering a surgeon who refuses to use it b/c of the risks of indentation after rhino. I would be a revision patient with thick skin and a huge amount of scar tissue. Does kenalog have a big impact on the final result, assuming the surgeon did a good job? Why would a surgeon refuse to offer something so important? Can oral steroids (like in a Medrol dose pack) help at all in minimizing scar formation?
