Are there any negative effects of multiple (greater than 7) postop steroid injections? (Photo)

ave1992
I am 1.5 year out of male rhinoplasty and still have significant tip swelling. My doctor assures me that this sometimes occurs, and is offering steroid injections every 2 months of which I have already had 7. I am recommended for more. Are there any adverse effects to consider given the amount of steroid injections I require...and is there a maximum number that can be given or a time frame after which none would be recommended?
