Bump on nose bridge keeps coming back after revision rhinoplasty, options to treat? (Photos)

sabah786Sep 2, 2023
I had a rhinoplasty done in August 2019, and since then every year a bump forms on one side of my nose bridge. It alters the slope of my nose and my doctor injects it with a kenalog shot (steroid) which makes the bump disappear for about 9 months, but then it begins to reappear. I’ve now had 3 steroid injections in my nose (one each year), but once again the bump has reappeared at the same size or even larger. Since this is likely scar tissue, what are my options to treat?

Yes, your nose does overproject. You need it taken down. I do not believe a chin augmentation is necessary. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
