Dear Docs, there is 1 year since my rhinoplasty. I had an internal one, that included septoplasty as well, and my surgeon used graft to enlarge the breathing channels because before the intervention, while i was breathing, the nostrils used to almost get closed. As you can see, i think i have a pollybeak. The first picture is made now, and the previous (collage) is comparison between 2 weeks and 6 months after surgery. Shall I try Kenalog injection? Any real risks or no chance for no result?
Answer: Polly beak deformity and should I have Kenalog injection? do NOT have a Kenalog injection. This is for thickened skin above the tip. However this is not your problem. It appears that the upper part of your bridge was made too low, the lower half of your bridge what is left too high, and the tip was insufficiently projected. See a very experienced rhinoplasty revision surgeon can show you many examples of his work in noses like yours and worse. Do not rely on imaging.

Answer: Polly Beak Deformity and Kenalog Injections Kenalog injections in the nose can potentially cause a significant amount of damage. While they are occasionally helpful, one must be very careful with steroid injections in the nose.

Answer: You have a rather prominent polly beak Hmm. It's usually doubtful whether Kenalog would help this long after surgery. But it depends a little on what the bulge is made of: if it's firm, like cartilage, there's no chance that the Kenalog will work. You might need a revision rhinoplasty.First thing I'd do is read the "Web reference" link, just below this post. It contains a section discussing how to tell whether you should allow your primary surgeon to perform your revision.

Answer: Nose treatment after rhinoplasty Your photos show excess fullness in the nasal tip and supra-tip areas. I think you would do best to follow-up with your rhinoplasty surgeon. An exam of the nose is very important in determining the next best step. Scar tissue can be well-treated with a series of steroid injections, with some surgeons using both a steroid called Kenalog and an anti-scar medication called 5-fluorouracil. Depending on you r exam, you may need steroid injections or further surgery.

Answer: Shall I try Kenalog injection? Most would agree that your photos do look like a polly-beak, or fullness above the tip of the nose. There can be several causes so we cannot say that Kenalog is the correct approach. Best see your surgeon so he can help determine what has caused things to be as they are.
